Alamo: Thirteen Days To Glory / Malice - 2 DVD Set (Amazon.com Exclusive)

Edited Is Better Than Nothing
Let's say you've waited for years for something to come out on DVD and it finally becomes available.....what's more, it's shown as being the full program. So, you naturally order it, right? Then - you play it and it's edited - say what? Obviously, your next step is to warn others so they don't spend money on something that isn't complete. The VHS set for "Thirteen Days To Glory" is 3 hours long. The package this set comes in says it's 180 minutes - the full mini-series. I suppose that's why when it gets played, it checks in at 148 minutes which the last time I checked isn't 3 hours, but 2 hours and 28 minutes, somewhat shorter than the original. You do have to give credit to those who edited out the 32 missing minutes - they did do a decent job - but sadly, it's not the full program. If you're like me, you've been looking for this and are excited it's on DVD. Perhaps the missing 32 minutes won't bother you. After all, an edited version is better than no version. There does...

Finally Availabe- The Great 1986 Alamo
Truly Great Bargain with the suspense filled thriller Malice1993 thrown in almost for free
The Alamo:13 Days to Glory was one the the very best Alamo flicks in recent years. It is in between the 1960 John Wayne Grand Spectacular and the more recent Thornton/Quaid 1996 outing.The filming was done on John Wayne's reconstructed San Antonio village (of the time) at nearby Brackettville, Texas. This outstanding movie is a great bargain in itself, running a full 3 hours with outstanding acting from James Arness, Loren Green,and Alec Baldwin. The portrayal of Santa Ana, by Raul Julio, is near Oscar Caliber.It very closely follows the award winning book I read as a youngster: 13 days to Glory by Lon Tinkle.
The movie is long "out of print" and barely obtainable on inferior VHS, but thanks to Amazon Here it is for all to once again enjoy in a bargain price "twofers" pairing. A Huge Thank You Amazon!
