Movie review
One of the attacks on bandit leader Wayne (Green Beret, 19680) is his account of the conflict between Americans and Mexicans in Texas in the 19th century. Wayne, in macho style, said the following passage: I declare. The Alamo effects and the important works by David Cracert and James Bowie (Widmark). Not to mention the score for DEMITRI TIOMKIN, which included the song the green leaves of summer, sung by the Brother Four.
In 1836, the heroes of Texas defended the state from an invasion by Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna in the famous battle to defend the Alamo.
