The Alamo. From a 1992 visit to San Antonio. Just saw Rio Bravo and never knew the music that the Mexicans played during the siege.



Rio Bravo was good. John Wayne underplayed his role and was quite good. The Degüello in the movie is not the actual Degüello, but music written by film composer Dimitri Tiomkin. Once you hear it, you realize how Sergio Leone used it with variations.
