The Alamo was a passion project of Wayne’s that spent years in development. Wayne produced and directed the film, and although he didn’t want to take a starring role, he conceded to studio pressure and played Col. Davy Crockett in the final product.
While The Alamo is, shall we say, less than historically accurate, many are sure to enjoy watching Wayne gallivant onscreen in Crockett’s iconic coonskin cap.
The free screening will begin at sunset, and attendees are welcome to bring snacks. That being said, leave the alcohol and coolers at home — they won’t be permitted at the event.
Free, 6:30 p.m. Friday, February 28, The Alamo, 300 Alamo Plaza, (210) 225-1391, thealamo.org.
