Curiosidades
John Wayne formed a close friendship with Laurence Harvey during filming. According to Michael Munn's 2003 biography "John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth", Wayne said Harvey should have received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor instead of Chill Wills. However the accuracy of Munn's book has been called into question, along with his other celebrity biographies.

Pifias
Sam Houston refers to the Alamo as being on the Rio Bravo (aka Rio Grande). The Alamo is located on the San Antonio River over 200 miles away.

Citas
Davy Crockett: Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.

Reseña destacada

A Great Film no matter which version you watch!

I have seen both the long Director's Cut and the short theatrical release.

The Short version is the DVD release, which was ok, the film goes much faster but it leaves many holes in the plot.

The Long Version helps to fill in the plot holes, watch this version if you really like long films and are into history quite heavely, otherwise stick with the short version if you just want entertainment value, plus it still manages to keep your attention.

This film is truly a masterpiece that will be enjoyed for Generations to come.
