The Alamo

This one is Sony Legacy Series. Listen to this CD is almost like listening to a great classical album. Also, a very good John Wayne's western movie feel. Great themes. Also, it seems the song "Waltzing Matilda" is originally from this movie, can anyone tell me if it is true of not? It also includes a few brief dialogues, song "Ballad of The Alamo" performed by Marty Robbins and "The Green Leaves of Summer" performed by The Brothers Four (Unfortunately, a few seconds is missing in the middle of that song.) Finally, I recommend this to those who like classic film scores.
