Alamo Bay is a 1985 drama film about a Vietnam veteran who clashes with Vietnamese immigrants who move to his fictitious Texas bay hometown. The film was directed by Louis Malle, and stars Amy Madigan and Ed Harris. Future Texas A&M and Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dat Nguyen, who was 9 at the time has a small role as a Little League ballplayer.
In his review, Vincent Canby of The New York Times said "Like many other movies that have their origins in a general idea, which characters and their story, Alamo Bay is almost shamefully clumsy and superficial - it's manufactured 'art.' Watching it is an unhappy experience that never becomes illuminating."[1]
The title soundtrack "Theme from Alamo Bay" by artist Ry Cooder is one of his better efforts and can be found on Music by Ry Cooder, a compilation album of Cooder's soundtracks from movies released between 1980 and 1993. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
