this is still easily the best alamo film made flat out, nothing close: and this scene is amazing as for those who dont like Hunnicutt here well, for me he is most entertaining. as for historical accuracy forget it, I wager the real guys all of them, were far less cinematic than any of the versions. But for a movie this one is fabulous
i'm a big John Wayne Fan, but i agree with you. The Duke as Colonel Crockett wasn't a good idea. normaly he's decision was to play Sam Houston, but UA did say no, so Duke decided to play Crockett in his own movie.
davy crockett did not bring 29 men. he brought 12. but, then again, fess parker's version shows him bringing only 4.

Arthur Hunnicutt was a fantastic Crockett. "Well I've been persuaded."

Interestingly both Hunnicut & Wayne who each portrayed Davy Crockett would go on to appear together in El Dorado.

I'm a baby-boomer so I'm always going to favor Fess Parker.But Hunnicutt is my 2nd favorite Davy Crockett.
