The Alamo

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Laurence Harvey, Richard Boone
with Frankie Avalon

This homage to the 180-odd men who saved Texas from the Mexicans in 1836 remains one of the most lavish and spectacular westerns ever made.
Directed by John Wayne himself, it tells the story of America's most famous battle and introduces legendary heroes like Colonel David Crockett (played by Wayne) and Colonel James Bowie.
