The Last Command is a 1955 Trucolor film about Jim Bowie and the fall of the Alamo during the Texas War of Independence. Filmed by Republic Pictures, it was an unusually expensive undertaking for the low-budget studio.
The film was originally set to be produced and directed by John Wayne but Wayne and Republic Pictures head Herbert Yates wanted Wayne to star, not produce or direct. Wayne left Republic to form Wayne-Fellows Productions. Five years later, Wayne would play Davy Crockett in, as well as direct, the three-hours-plus Todd-AO blockbuster The Alamo, released by United Artists that featured many elements of The Last Command in its screenplay.

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

@Davegoode23

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."

Whar's the whole film? Thanks for posting this though.

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

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