Murder at the Alamo

Two screen legends clash in 1959!One has sunk his life savings and reputation into making an epic movie, and the other badly wants to have a role in the motion picture. During location filming, an actress friend of both stars is murdered. A true story with an alternative history twist presents the strange case behind the movie magic: the murder of LeJean Ethridge just as she was about to be directed by John Wayne in his classic film about the Alamo. Famous names drop in and end up dropped: J. Edgar Hoover, Howard Hughes, John Huston, Hedda Hopper, Jeffrey Hunter-and those are just the 'H' list from the address book of Audie Murphy. Old newspaper clippings, publicity releases, press-book gloss, and dirty laundry, all come together in MURDER AT THE ALAMO. If you don't believe it, you aren't a fan of movies.
