(July 17, 2007) Long barrack, church and low barracks (right). The long barrack has a different appearance than it did in John Wayne's movie. A few other structures have also been altered since Wayne's movie was released back in 1960. The church in the film had two upper windows. The real Alamo church didn't. Overall the Alamo movie set looks basically the same as it did during the 1959 filming
