Dec 13, 2015 · The Last Command (1955) Sterling Hayden is Jim Bowie in this version of the story of the Alamo. He arrives in Texas and immediately sympathizes with those growing anxious under Santa Anna’s rule. He even helps free a hot-headed lawyer named William Travis (Richard Carlson) from jail.
The story follows the battle of the Alamo in San Antonio in 1836, where brave Texans gave their life to become free of the Mexican rule, by defending the former mission station against overwhelming odds as the Mexican army of Santa Ana closed in for victory.
Sterling Hayden stars as Jim Bowie, who, yes, is the inventor of the Bowie knife. As the story opens, Bowie lives peacefully in Mexico-owned 19th century Texas. But his American-citizen neighbors, Mike Radin (Ernest Borgnine) and William Travis (Richard Carlson) are itching for secession.
