The Man from the Alamo is a 1953 Budd Boetticher western with Glenn Ford as a man with a reputation for cowardice hanging over his head, a reputation he feels (with some justification) is undeserved.

An intelligent grown-up western and an exciting action-packed movie with fine large-scale action sequences.

4 westerns you need to see

Law and Order (AKA Guns A'Blazin, 1932). The bleakest of all pre-1960s westerns.

Winchester '73 (1950). James Stewart discovers his dark side.

7 Men From Now (1956). Budd Boetticher's greatest film.

No Name on the Bullet (1959). Very modern for the 50s.
