Last Night at the Alamo

Last Night at the Alamo is a 1983 American blackandwhite independent film directed and coproduced by Eagle Pennell, written and coproduced by Kim Henkel and starring Sonny Carl Davis and Lou Perryman.

As the afternoon wears on into the evening and night, several of the patrons leave one by one to either go home or to another bar a few miles away called the BampB which Cowboy loathes because it is regarded as a Yankee bar due to the upscale establishment and because the beer and other drinks are more expensive. Cowboy in the meantime commands the Alamo with his presence by telling antidotes about his life which includes his recently quitting his job and wanting to go into the movie business as an actor. He partakes in a tequila drinking contest, gives Ichabod some money as he wants to take Mary to a nearby motel for the night, and even permits Claude to stay at his place for the night when Claudes attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife over the telephone fail.Late in the evening, when Cowboys friend finally manages to call him back only to inform him that he could not do enough to save the Alamo from closing for good, Cowboy is mocked by a few of the patrons, mostly a former highschool bully named Steve. Cowboy gets more drunk and starts a barroom brawl with Steve which leads to the barman kicking them both out of the bar and closing it up a halfhour early. Outside the bar, as Cowboy sorrowfully compares the end of his hangout place to the end of the redneck way of life, Claude offers to drive him home and Cowboy agrees as they watch the neon lights of the Alamo shut down for good. ........
