One Man's Hero (1999)


 Been looking to see if there were any Mexican-American war movies and found this. 

The film is a dramatization of the true story of John Riley and the Saint Patrick's Battalion, a group of Irish Catholic immigrants who desert the mostly Protestant U.S. Army to join the mostly Catholic Mexican side during the Mexican–American War of 1846 to 1848.[2]

Mark Man Of TIN Blog - apologies having difficulty posting comments but the musical legacy of San Patricios lives on today in pipe and drum bands, as I discovered on Youtube when creating a Parazuellian (Morecambe and Wise Movie inspired) ImagINations pipe and drum band https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2021/03/28/neglected-and-forgotten-figures-parazuellian-womens-revolutionary-army-pipe-and-drum-band/
