The Alamo 1960 version ~ '7..good/entertaining '!

This movie must have been great to see in 1960...seems to hold some of its glory, even in 2012.
I'm not a John Wayne fan, but his acting in this one was good...not goofy like I find it in most of his work {sorry!}.
Thank God John Wayne didn't cast that awful Heston for the Bowie role {as I see in the trivia section on IMDb} ~ Widmark was just fine.
I'd rate this higher than my 7...it's just the AGE that brings my number down.

10 = unmissable, absolute must see!
9 = excellent
8 = very good
7 = good, entertaining
6 = OK, fine, whatever
5 = average
4 = barely watchable, nodded off occasionally
3 = bad
2 = awful
1 = dire!
0 = shouldn't have been made at all!
