He's right about Mexico. The culture is amazing, festive and the beauty of a Mexican sunset is...ohhhhh I can't even begin to describe it. Sadly she is a shadow of her former self since the gangs and cartels have inflicted so much pain on the people.

[@MAnuscript421]

Why doesn’t the Mexican authorities or the Mexican president deal with them? They’re practically domestic terrorists in Mexico.

Great movie I saw it when I was 12 years old and still love it 😊

[@pascaldjemaa2995]

My parents have visited "The Duke" in the hospital before he died in 1979. They said to him : "We're coming from the south of France". Wayne answered : "I don't care ! Get out of here !"

I love this movie! Will someone please do a good digital restoration of this movie? ALL of it? PLEEAAASE?

[@Nimgimmer1492]

Some years ago, MGM/UA accidently ruined a nearly-mint condition 70mm print of the roadshow version of the film. It would've been a perfect print for digital restoration. Can't happen now. Plus, MGM/UA has never been overly interested anyway.

[@garyhiggins6718]

@@Nimgimmer1492 This both saddens and angers me! This movie is a major facet of Alamo Lore, and therefore the History of Texas! On those grounds it should be restored in full! The present incarnation is pretty useless? I remember Denver Pyle saying that he was proud of the Mexico Soldiers even while he was shooting them? That great line should have been properly restored because it emphasised the truth that neither side actually wanted to be doing what they were doing, but they were there, trapped by honourable motives into doing what couldn't be avoided! Honour to both sides!

I don’t think this movie is good enough to bother anyway

[@JakeDTexas]

From what I heard from folks who past down the story from generation to generation. When David and Jim first met, and didn't like each other at first. But as they got to know each other, the became good friends. David, even though Jim was gravely I'll, promised to protect him when the battle starts.

The Alamo is Original or Remake?

[@lockload5098]

Original movie released in 1960 which starred and directed by John Wayne

[@anthonycantu8879]

In reality, it was has-been met has-been. I invite you to read "Forget the Alamo," by Burrough, Tomlinson, and Stanford. This was a ridiculous movie from the start.

[@jeffsmith2022]

How about the fact that the film was made for entertainment, not to be thought of as an historically accurate documentary?

Better to be a has-been than a never-was.
