Not so much that as it wore out ole Santa Anna's patience and made him become extremely careless. So much so that he and his men chased Houston east across Texas for a month and then set camp without even knowing that Houston and his boys where within pissing distance of him. Prime for a surprise attack.
I wish Wayne had made this film with more Richard Boone playing Houston. Houston was a brilliant brilliant man among idiots. Even being kicked from his governorship being anti-slavery
@@sphughes01 Houston was forced to step down as Governor because he opposed secession. Before he died in 1863 he informed his slaves about the Emancipation Proclamation. He died loyal to the USA and accepting the end of slavery. Houston was a great man.
JFD Richard Boone wasn't a Big part of John Wayne's version of The Alamo. But just like Richard Widmark's role as Jim Bowie, or Sir Lawrence Harvey as Col. Barrett William Travis. Each One were Exceptionally well Chosen to be Thier Given Character. Just like in the more Recent Version with it's Cast of Actor's & Actresses. The people who are in those Roles are & were the Premier Best in the Business at the Time. This I believe! IS Why Thier Two Version's have exceeded Time so well, & have left such Lasting Legacies too the Fallen Hero's of that Epic Battle. Even the Alternate Characters on the Mexican Side have Left Thier Own Impressions as well. Though I Unfortunately Do Not, & cannot Recall Thier Names, currently due too a Poor Memory on My personal part & No Other. Well that's enough Said about a Great Film Story & a particularly Key Moment in the telling of the Story. So Thank You So Much for Sharing.

Mostly very good film with alot of excellent individual scenes & moments but I'm far more aware of the inaccuracies now which I find irksome & cringe-worthy. The incorrect river-reference in this clip for one. Sometimes the scripted dialogue sounds clunky or stilted, unnaturally speechy, or, sadly, even a little corny, viewed in today's light. In purely visual terms, the final battle is spectacular & can't be beat, though inaccuracies infiltrate there, too, the primary one being that it's shown occurring in broad daylight. In truth, it was all over by the first rays of dawn. Nevertheless, it's a stirring & memorable sequence. One can only marvel at the defenders' bravery.
He was sent to safety as they knew the end was coming I have friend from where the final battle of Texas revolution in la porta Not just Texas anyone who does the reenactment remembers I do the show and I carry the Texas flag to salute the defenders
So Tomorrow, When your recruits start to whine and dine and 69, you tell them that….. ah fuck it! I want some more of those free holy beans, they are delicious!!!
I cannot believe how many people have swallod whole this propaganda movie. They need to find out about the realities of the Texas-Mexican war. The war was dishourable affair at best a blatent land grab at worst. President Polk was obsessed with grabbing what he could when he could and as the Mexican government were distracted he got some of his troops to occupy a disputed piece of territory in the hope, successful as it worked out, that it would spark a conflict. The war was controversial as Texas was a slave holding state and many Northerners were worried about upsetting the balance of free v slave states represented in Congress. Once the fighting started an assortment of cut-throats, renegades, disreputables and free loaders joined in hoping to grab what they could in Texas. They went about their business in cruel and violent fashion too. At one point it became so vicious and criminal that some American troops changed sides to stop the plundering. The Saint Patricos legion, for instance, a band of Irish volunteers, were such a group that were sickened by the cruelty and as such willingly fought against the Americans. Such details of course do not appear in John Wayne's 'blockbuster' movie although the ridiculous scene where Jim Bowie's slave puts himself in the way of a bayonet to save him passes for fact in some people's eyes. What did Goebbels' say about lies: make them big and tell them often then people will believe them.
Is it possible that those settlers was wanting to establish their own government away from Washington the US and wanted to be their own country on this continent. And the US attacked Texas and which was california cause we did drive the American Indians out as history books told but it was much more.
A great scene and one of my faves. However as usual US/Hollywood propaganda turned the true hero's into villains and the real villains into hero's. Truth is Mexico had outlawed slavery and also abolished it in Texas, however the white settlers and white illegal immigrants from the US refused to accept this and considered it an affront to "their own freedom" (the irony) and decided to go to war and steal the land to preserve the evil institution of slavery. Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Travis and their ilk, in short were a bunch of racist white supremacists, whose movement also turned against the Mexicans that helped them and made them second class citizens in their own land. Sounds familiar? US, Canada, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand etc Furthermore, the racist white supremacist history of Texas and the Alamo, reared it's ugly head again when influential Texans investing in the movie forced John Wayne not to cast Sammy Davis Jr, because they didn't like the idea Sammy was seeing [his future wife] May Britt at the time. They disapproved of a black man going out with a white woman. Hopefully now in 2021 we can all try to free our minds of ignorance and refuse to continue perpetuating the sins of the past. That's the hope...
@@oab1598 I'm happy to insert an ounce or two of sense into your "argument." How do you account for 1) Tejanos who supported fighting for independence from Mexico, a stance _predating_ the emigration of Americans and Europeans; 2) most Texians being too poor to have or benefit from slaves; 3) men like Dr. Amos Pollard, the Alamo's physician, who was a staunch abolitionist; 4) the folly of judging people of nearly 200 years ago by hyper-sensitive standards of the 21st century; 5) reality being far more complex than is typically expressed in popular culture.
@@johnnyelizabethton Comprehension is a conversation between the reader and the text. Perhaps you should have taken my first comment a little more seriously then you wouldn’t have been an abject failure in comprehension. 1.) Mexico’s Black president Vicente Guerrero had abolished slavery in 1829, precisely because being black he was particularly more sensitive to its evils. The conservatives within Mexico resisted this-the Tejanos were of this faction and fought on the side of the white southern settlers/ illegal immigrants/white supremacists, as explained in my previous comment, (see why you should have taken it more seriously?!) 2.) The US white southern settlers/ illegal immigrants/white supremacists, began expanding further into Texas, they brought with them their hope of owning their own property and building cotton plantations because the Mexican cotton industry was big business at the time and they wanted a piece of the action. 3.) The Mexican government permitted them to settle so long as they obeyed Mexican laws and conditions. However many of the white southern settlers/ illegal immigrants/white supremacists ignored these laws and conditions, and the majority exacerbated the situation and came over with slaves, even though slavery had been abolished in Mexico in 1829. They continuously flaunted and flouted their Mexican host’s laws by continually keeping slaves and claiming territories beyond what they had been permitted. 4.) The above four points are facts. Nothing complex, just straight facts! Regarding Amos pollard, befriending abolitionists as he did with abolitionist Benjamin Lundy does not make Amos Pollard himself an abolitionist. At any rate, being racist and having ‘friends’ from other races or even so, being an abolitionist and also a white supremacist aren’t all mutually exclusive. History has shown that to be the case many a time. In closing, I’m not judging purely based on my era, I’m observing based on the nuances and more importantly the facts of their era. Nothing complex!
That would have to be just about the coolest jacket I have ever seen, and the coolest speech to go with it.
Indeed, and believe it or not, that jacket was the only payment that Boone wanted for his guest star appearance.
The State of Texas will always remember. ALWAYS!!!!

No one will forget, Sam.

John Wayne wanted Boone to play Crockett but the studios wanted Wayne's star power in the larger role.

They should of made a sequel with Richard Boone as General Sam at Goliad
Sam Houston wasn't at Goliad.
@@jkorshak thank you i was mistaken San Jacinto
Indeed. If the film wasn't a box office bomb, then we would have gotten that sequel.
“…should of…” ? ? No such phrase. Don’t you mean “…should have…”? ? Or “…should’ve…”? ?
The bird on the back of Houston's jacket is what he was referred to "The Raven".
The scenery looks like the Medina river in the Texas Hill country just north of San Antonio.
I wish Wayne had made this film with more Richard Boone playing Houston.
Houston was a brilliant brilliant man among idiots.
Even being kicked from his governorship being anti-slavery
I thought you said he was brilliant?
In truth, Boone was already committed to Have Gun, Will Travel and his time for The Alamo was sharply limited
Smitty should have gotten himself a fresh horse.
...and waited for a reply to take with him back to the Alamo.
I find its the best John Wayne movie With true Grit and big jake
Fort Apache, Rio Grande, and The Searchers
You can go On & On with all the great John Wayne films.
Two of the best looking men ever in this movie John Wayne and Richard boone!!!!
A fabulous scene

Profound word's from General sam Houston.
Lots of action in this movie.

Where film this
Fort Clark, Texas. Las Moras Creek.
“The Alamo” 1960 starring John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Frankie Avalon with Richard Boone as a Special Guest Star.
I knew that they would find a way not to kill off Teen Idol Frankie Avalon
Probably the most miscast in the whole movie. He just doesn't fit.
