Moderate Jim Bowie leads rebellious Texicans–and Davy Crockett–in a last-ditch stand against his old friend, Santa Anna.
Republic did a good job with this film, specially in their choice of actors. Sterling Hayden is a very convincing Jim Bowie, also Richard Carlson as Travis and I can’t think of a better Davy Crockett than Arthur Hunnicutt. Ana Maria Alberghetti has a sweet face and through the love that she shows for Jim Bowie, we are able to understand what a living legend he must have been. All films about the story of Texas have one problem: it is very confusing to those who are not familiar with it. “The Last Command” suffers from this problem, too many events are only mentioned, without being shown. What is incredible is how well this film compares with John Wayne’s “The Alamo”. Even though the costs here are a fraction, this film reaches you more. And I can see John Wayne as a great Jim Bowie, but not as Davy Crockett, which he was in his film.
