Last Night At the Alamo (Dir. Eagle Pennell, 1983)


(Reviewed 4/5 in April 2015 on letterboxd.com)


A film that tries to hold on to the old simplicity of the West fearing the advent of commercial conformity as some sort of a Yankee conspiracy. No one other than Cowboy believes the Yankee bit but as his friend Claude remarks, it ain't good, that's for sure. Cowboy even thinks its the right time for him to get into movies because they don't have guys like John Wayne anymore. All they have is the Eastwood's, Redford's and Travolta's...shit. All this and more is good enough reason for these simple folk at the Alamo to try and hold on to this bar which has stood there for 30 years.
