Gee, this one looks familiar??? :-)) And thanks to bill, I have this one in the growing collection.

Its a shame that both Walter Brennan and Victor McLaglen were not in this movie. Man they would both have been a hoot.

If these are "just some lying around and not the good stuff?" I cant imagine what the good stuff will look like? ;-))

Yep, I agree with you Jay/Viper. A person like that guy is will never be a useful Citizen. -
Hi jay, no problem. Only I can't say for sure if that is the policy all county jails have or if it is only used when they are full up.

Hi Jay, thanks for the info.
Yep, he is out of prison unless like you say, he did get into more trouble while serving his time--which is easy to do. usually you actually serve 1/2 the time you get sentenced. I.e. 10 years is actually only 5 or less. And it is even less than that because one gets double time served for being in a County lock-up before, during and after the trial.
TRK.

Hi Jay and thanks. I had never heard about that, what a sad thing to happen though. I sure hope justice happened in her case.
I used to be a Correctional Officer for the State of Tx. I dealt with many thousands of inmates in the years I worked for the system. I heard countless stories of them telling at how they were framed and because of that, were sentenced to terms in prison. Some undoubtedly were in because of wrongful information but, that number is VERY low.
Anyway, I really do hope justice was served for that gal.
Best regards--TRK.

Pardon my ignorance but, who was Ethridge?

Hi Robbie, I remember that as well but had forgotten about "Travis" moving his hand out of the way after he was killed.

Hi Itdo, thanks for that
I do know of one blooper I can think of off hand.
This was a scene where after the Mexican Cannorfire blew a hole through one of the walls. There was a scene where the Mexican Soldiers were racing through the hole, ther was some sort of straw-covered roof? they were running under--which was on fire. Anyway, it must have been a powerful windy day when they filmed that scene because the "bricks" were being blown away by the winds. One person running through the "debris" accidently kicked or slightly bumped his foot against one, and it rolled away like a Tumbleweed.

I always was told by my parents to look for that bus and never could spot it though that said they always did. Guess I will have to watch The Alamo for my Thanksgiving movie. I never knew where to look but now I will look for it behind the Chapel.

Hi Jay, welcome to this great site. Also, my own Mother was at a breakfast that you had to pay a fee for to eat with John Wayne. From what I remember her telling me, she sat across the table from The Duke. My mother was also at the premier of The Alamo. I don't remember much more than this but I do recall she said that she ordered the same meal as John Wayne did at that breakfast, which was a Western Omlett.
