The Last Command is a 1928 film. It was written by John F. Goodrich and Herman J. Mankiewicz, from a story by Lajos Biró. It was directed by Josef von Sternberg.
The plot concerns a down-on-his-luck former Tsarist Russian soldier (Emil Jannings) whose life is saved when an old adversary, now a movie director (William Powell), hires him to re-create the Russian Revolution that destroyed his career.
Jannings won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance.
There's also a 1955 movie dealing with the Alamo called The Last Command starring Sterling Hayden.
