Review of San Antonio (1945) by John R — 14 Aug 2014

140815: For some reason this movie seemed at least twenty years newer than it's release date. Well done, and classy. It's almost like they filmed a movie within a theatre production at times. Comes across as a very big production, and perhaps it was.

Both an old school chase scene (with a cool horse stunt) and S.Z. Sakall's ("look an empty horse") court testimony brought a smile to my face. Features beautiful costumes and a huge gun battle, which takes place in front of, and within, the Alamo.

Treacherous, ugly villains abound. Even with its glitches, a very enjoyable film with some amazing acting. Proudly researched the alluring (yet blonde), Canadian actress Alexis Smith after the film was done.
