Rio Bravo/El Dorado/Rio Lobo came to be as a reaction to High Noon what was much to Social-Libral to many folks- The Original movie script after the short story had been done b< trhe Science Fiction authior Leighh Bracket who had also helped Georg Lucas to shape the script to STAR WARS IV ( Joe Hembus WESTERN LEXIKON München, 1975 )
Great scene- the urgency of grabbing some guy's shirt for a white flag, the ride out with it at the gallop, the officer's authoritative reading of the speech, all hint at the aspiration to just take the town and the mission at one fell swoop, but clear intent to stage an assault if they must. Travis' reply is as eloquent as McAuliffe's "Nuts" at Bastogne. Also, "Generalissimo Santa Anna, Absolute Ruler of Mexico", is doubtless inaccurate, but I like a man who takes a title that brooks no argument.

In Making of John Wayne's The Alamo, it was revealed that the cannon rolled over the foot of Laurence Harvey, breaking it at the instep. He continued with the scene.
The only reason the Alamo held out for so long was that Santa Anna was waiting, hoping Sam Houston would turn up with his army to attempt to relieve the siege.

@@downunderrob the Alamo? Pretty sure they held the Alamo against Santa Ana's army for 13 days the only discrepancy in the historical account is rather some of the Texans were captured and killed or killed in the battle itself
I always wondered if firing the canon over their heads was a very British (Lawrence Harvey) ad lib?. Alec Guinness cut two pages of pointless dialogue in Star Wars by saying, "These are not droids we're looking for....Move along...Move along. Either way, a wonderful moment.
Though vastly outnumbered, the Alamo’s 200 defenders-commanded by James Bowie and William Travis and including the famed frontiersman Davy Crockett-held out for 13 days before the Mexican forces finally overpowered them ... in order to put a stop to slavery being practiced there and to free those slaves.
It was more than just the slaves. Americans emigrated to Texas in such huge numbers that they eventually outnumbered native Mexican citizens 3 to 1 and that spooked the Mexican government. There was also already talk among said settlers of convincing the US Government to purchase or annex Texas, though the idea at the time wasn't that popular. Also Santa Anna had dissolved the Mexican Constitution of 1824 after pulling a lot of political stunts and backstabbing in order to become dictator, which left him unpopular with a lot of his own people, hence why Texas had a lot of support from Tejanos. In fact, Texas was only one of several Mexican provinces that were rebelling against him at the time for the conservative reforms he had just helped implement as well as his harsh treatment of defeated enemies, but Texas was the most well-known and obviously the most successful in its rebellion. Nobody was really a squeaky clean hero in all this. Probably the most sympathetic faction during this time were the native Tejanos.
all these Sana Anna apologists repeating the lie that this was about stopping slavery- it was not. The fact that Santa Anna put down uprisings all over Mexico before marching to Texas shows that. Or i guess the Yucatan's rebellion that was put down was also about slavery.
@@LordSiravant "Americans emigrated to Texas in such huge numbers" Illegally, poisoning the blood of real Texans. Mexicans should have Built That Wall!
@@StGeorge67 While Santa Anna could have marched around the Alamo, it would have taken time and been a major annoyance. Mostly, it was psychological warfare that drove him to assault the Alamo. He believed the defenders were beneath him, and wanted to send a message of no mercy to Texans everywhere.
@@deltaboy2011 They probably added the information, but the teacher, as I mentioned, refused to tell us. Most likely because my class was during Segregation.
Yes but the Mexicans were swarthy Indios untermenchen while the Texans were of superior Anglo-Saxon stock. Therefore it matters little who were invaders, since the latter are naturally the correct side.
Apart from the historically accurate set, this movie gets so many things wrong about the actual history of the Alamo that it's truly laughable. At least they got the ending right, where the good guys win and the slavery-supporting defenders get what's coming to them.

Laurence Harvey firing that canon like a boss with that defiant look on his face!!
The rider reading the scroll had the most intense, authentic Mexican accent I have ever heard. Perfect!
He was reading English words with Spanish pronunciation -- not the easiest thing to do.
Easy for him: he was Carlos Arruza. (bullfighter).
The accent came naturally.@@mister-v-3086
Well, is authentic Mexican. He speaks perfect Spanish.
Laurence Harvey’s facial expressions said more than words.
It would be nice to learn who was the actor as a Mexican cavalry officer? That man knew his riding. Like a competing equestrian, knew his business.
Carlos Arruza

this movie has a really bad habit of having characters stand directly behind cannons they are firing.
As may be...I watched carefully - when fired, the cannon didn't move. Maybe in a rehearsal??
watched about ten times in theaters and dvd, but need blu ray version for my frequent viewing.

If you like Ruichard Widmark see his best movie "The Bedford Incident" also "Run For The Sun" and "The Long Ships."
I remember the Davy Crockett version. From his TV show.
The only reason the Alamo held out for so long was that Santa Anna was waiting, hoping Sam Houston would turn up with his army to attempt to relieve the siege.
If Houston showed up, Santa Anna would have lost earlier.
Inaccurate as all heck, but probably the most fun version out there. I have, I think, all but 1. I even have the Silent version.
Imagine the Alamo battle directed by Sam Peckinpah...
I have the road version of this movie on VHS 245 min and the soundtrack with 4 hours of music from Dimitri tiomkin, the Best movie of All time
