Heroes of the Alamo 1937 is a lowbudget retelling of the events of the Texas Revolution and the Battle of the Alamo. It was produced by Anthony J. Xydias and reuses the battle scenes of his 1926 silent film Davy Crockett at the Fall of the Alamo. Aboutminutes of the latter film is available on the DVD of Heroes of the Alamo, all that remains of the silent film.

After producing two 1935 Westerns, Xydias ambitiously announced the production of epic films about Buffalo Bill, Sitting Bull, George Armstrong Custer, Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett in 19371938 that were remakes of his Sunset Productions silent films, however only the Alamo film was made. Xydias had planned the film as a tie in with the 1936 Texas Centennial but fell behind in his plans.Columbia Pictures acquired the film for 1938 release and changed the billing of the actors in the film. ........
