I saw a show (history channel?) in which the company created scenes from history. One was the attack on the Alamo. They used John Wayne’s Alamo in it and discovered that it is about 3/5s the size of the real Alamo, thus giving the 184 actors less area to defend. That really emphasized how much of a heroic stand they made and that they had no chance of repelling the final assault.

Thanks. I didn’t know that John Wayne’s Alamo was smaller than the real Alamo. In any case, it was an excellent movie.
