That was the first time I saw John Wayne get killed on screen, but they said that he'd been killed, like he was killed at the Alamo.

A song written for the movie The Alamo, of all things, which... quickly escaped the confines of the film to become a pop standard.
Dave StroudHOST
23:11
Nick Perito and his orchestra provided a lush cinematic treatment you'd expect from that era.
Dave StroudHOST
23:16
Strings and orchestration that emphasized the song's wistfulness and sense of looking back on a summer already slipping away.

People don't really like to see the movies where not only are they defeated, it's one thing to see, you know, like, oh, they're defeated and maybe pushed back, but to watch them be, you know, massacred, it's just uncomfortable.
MattHOST
29:30
It's probably why, you know, two huge, budgeted, mega-epic movies were made about the Alamo.
MattHOST
29:38
You know, one with John Wayne as Davy Crockett and one with Billy Bob Thornton as...
MattHOST
29:45
Davy Crockett.
MattHOST
29:50
Lots of money put into them, but they both bombed at the box office because we don't want to see our soldiers, you know, get killed.
MattHOST
29:59
Again, regardless of your political leanings, regardless of whether you've, you know, the Texans stole Texas from Mexico, you...
MattHOST
30:09
This movie and the Alamo and one of my favorite war movies of all time, A Bridge Too Far about Operation Market Garden, was another Allied defeat and another really great movie with huge production, grand scale.
MattHOST
30:25
But it failed at the box office because, again, we're watching a defeat of our boys.
