The film starred Coates Gwynne, Sterling Waters and Mrs. Florence Griffith. The music supervisor was Vernon Geyer.[1] The film is an educational reenactment of the siege at the Alamo, but the filming location was actually Mission San José.[2] The film was released soon after the centennial of the Alamo.
