In a Playboy Interview back about 1970 John Wayne said THE ALAMO bombed in the US. He also mentioned the movie was a hit IN FRANCE!
***The French are definitely different from us, but too often wrongfully maligned. Including on FR.***
Perhaps THE ALAMO hits a nerve because of their own loss at Cameron, Mexico.

Oh those cowardly French! (Wish Republicans had such spine *\;^)
