The Alamo (1960) - Davy Crockett arrives at the Alamo

1836, the province of Texas, under the possession of Mexico, rebels against the Mexican dictatorial authority and proclaims its independence. The General Sam Houston (Richard Boone) that commands the armed forces of Texas, is pursued by Santa Ana's troops, far superior in number. Houston decides to take refuge behind the Rio Grande in order to quickly reform a bigger army.
However, Houston needs time, he entrusts the Colonel Travis the mission to stem the progression of the Mexican army. The colonel entrenches himself and his fellowmen, in an old mission half destroyed and transformed for the occasion into a fortress. For 13 days, the legendary Davy Crockett (John Wayne), Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) William Travis (Laurence Harvey) and 184 hardy Americans and Texicans hold the Alamo in hopeless combats against the massive Mexican army.
They know that the final assault will turn to a massacre, but they are ready to write down with their blood one of the most heroic pages of American history.
The Alamo was considered by John Ford as a masterpiece and ranks among cinema’s great classic and stirring movies.

I have the movie.but I wish it was the director 's cut.the way Wayne had meant it to be seen in the first place.they need to get that version on dvd.

Esta escena es simplemente maravillosa. Esto ES CINE. La música es muy estremecedora.
Aquí Davy Crokett se da cuenta que no deberá defender un fuerte bien armado, sino que una misión en ruinas con algunos hombres y comienza a comprender que va a tener que morir aquí.
