The Last Command Ratings & Reviews

Mister ArnAugust 17, 2025
“The Last Command”, directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Sterling Hayden as Jim Bowie, was produced in the shadow of a fractured relationship between John Wayne and Republic Pictures. Made in part to spite Wayne after he left the studio, the film retells the Battle of the Alamo with more myth than history, choosing to ennoble its heroes rather than humanize them. Those expecting historical accuracy or modern pacing may come away disappointed. But if you appreciate the myth-making style of 1950s cinema, there's still something here worth your time.
