* OvershadowedByControversy: The 1960 film earned several Oscar nominations, but its chances of winning any were torpedoed by Creator/ChillWills, nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Wills took out ads in ''Variety'' and other publications promoting his nomination, while insisting that true patriots among the Academy voters would choose their "Alamo cousins" to win. Creator/JohnWayne, for his part, was disgusted by Wills's campaign and publicly repudiated it.
* ValuesDissonance: Actually [[AvertedTrope averted]], if you can believe it. While the film never truly cuts to the Mexican side to show their point of view, Santa Anna is shown in a ''much'' more noble light than in the 2004 film. Much is made, in fact, of how much the Texans and Tennesseeans come to ''admire'' how honorably the Mexicans fight, and treat their dead, and so on. Additionally, there are several Mexicans sympathetic to the defenders, although none of them are defenders like many of them were in real life, and Bowie even calls out a minor character for questioning their loyalty.

** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in the instance of Bowie and his slave, though. Bowie's ownership of the man is downplayed for most of the film so much, one can be forgiven for thinking the man's just a hired servant/sidekick, and nothing less--until the scene where Bowie gives him his freedom and tells him to save himself. And the now-freeman tells him IChooseToStay. It's up to the viewer to determine whether this is problematic window-dressing or not.
