Review of The Last Command (1955) by Darren S — 03 Apr 2009
The Republic did a good job with this film, especially in their choice of actors. Sterling Hayden is a convincing Jim Bowie, and also Richard Carlson as William B. Travis. Arthur Hunnicutt did a good job as Davy Crockett.
Ana Maria Alberghetti has a sweet face and through the live 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 has one problem: it is confusing to those who are not familiar with it.
[i]The Last Command[/i] suffers from this problem, too many events are only mentioned, without being shown. This movie is good but could have been better.
