Description: Wayne's sprawling salute to the brave Americans who gave their lives fighting to free Texas from Mexico. Highlighted by big-budget battle scene!
In spite of the painstaking attempts to explore the characters of the picture's three principal heroes (Bowie, Crockett, Travis), there is an absence of emotional feeling, of a sense of participation. Variety Staff,Variety

As his own producer and director, Mr. Wayne has unfortunately let his desire to make a \big\ picture burden him with dialogue. His action scenes are usually vivid, his talk scenes are long and usually dull. Bosley Crowther,New York Times
