Question: Who more accurately portrayed the personality & character of the historical David Crockett...John Wayne in the 1960 movie, or Billy Bob Thornton in the 1960 film?
Very interesting link. I had wondered if the very positive portrayal of the Mexican enemy was motivated in part by marketing considerations---was the film ever released in Mexico?

Good question. The John Wayne version is not historically accurate and wasn’t meant to be; John Wayne was really playing Odysseus.

IMDB doesn’t have a release date for Mexico.
