The Last Command (1955)
Not a minute is wasted in the script, music and acting to enhance the best portrayal on screen of the two sides that confront in an unbettered action at the Alamo.

Max Steiners stirring melodic score gives the already wonderful script and superb acting the icing on the cake to this tale of more truth than fiction. Outlining both sides of the confrontation before the final outcome. Giving reason and substance to the characters not just lifeless figureheads fighting against ghosts as in the later production. Some of the finest action sequences ever filmed in a western are in the final scenes, while the story and action keeps your attention all thru' the film, not just a wait for the end battle. The principal actors were made for the part.This film deserves a better place in noteriaty and film history.I rate this in my top ten westerns, yes maybe top five.
