Fantastic Movie, Start to Finish

I had never seen this Budd Boetticher gem before until this evening as the final installment of Classic Western Round-Up, Volume 2. There were several good movies in this eight-film, two-volume set, but The Man from the Alamo was easily the best of the bunch in my opinion. I read all of the comments on the revolver anachronism, but I guess I am fortunate that that did not get in the way of my enjoyment. This was an intelligent, well-acted flick with a great story and terrific action. I was engrossed from the first minute until the exciting finish.

I can forgive the filmmakers' playing a little fast & loose with gun history as this was not a documentary. I was bothered more by the total whitewashing of John Wesley Hardin's history in "The Lawless Breed," as that was supposed to be a true story. I also enjoy futuristic sci fi which contains technology that does not yet exist (and may never exist). I know, it's different genre that's SUPPOSED to have these things, but it's all in how you look at it. If I can suspend belief in those types of films, why can't I suspend a little belief when watching some historical fiction?
