5.0 out of 5 stars An Unsung Gem of a TV Movie, August 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dress Gray [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Featuring the young Alec Baldwin at his most compelling, Dress Grey (screenplay by Gore Vidal), is a political murder mystery with a Southern Gothic touch. Fans of "Advise and Consent," "The Best Man," etc. will enjoy the slightly over-the-top military-school machinations of a bunch of fine character actors like Hal Holbrook, Alexis Smith, Lloyd Bridges, Eddie Albert et al, and mystery fans won't be disappointed by the plot, which has plenty of twists and turns and even a couple of truly tense and suspenseful moments. Frank discussion of homosexuality in military school setting my be a turn-off for some (and a turn-on for others, for whom Baldwin and fellow students provide plenty of eye-candy.) Long enough for more than one bowl of popcorn, consistenly interesting, a must-see. Not sure what the diffence is between the slightly different prices and number of tapes listed here, I have viewed the double tape version, buy others at your own risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars A suspensful miltary thriller set in the 1960's!, March 26, 2000

This review is from: Dress Gray [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video deals with a miltary school in the 1960's. A cadethas died.The miltary are looking into the matter. Everyone issuspect. Alec Baldwin plays a cadet who gets set up during the trial of his fellow cadet. The movie is fast as the miltary is trying to avoid a media frenzy on the base. This movie also deals with gays and the miltary. There is a slight hint that maybe the cadet was killed by a gay lover. Of course the miltary back then would not like this stuff out to the media. The movie is a very suspenseful thriller in the 1960's! This video features an an all star cast Alec Baldwin(The Hunt For Red Ocober,Mecury Rising),Lane Smith(Superman TV series)Lloyd Bridges(the hot shot movies) and others! look for some up and coming stars in this video as well!

I personally have not seen this yet, but hope to get my hands on one of these videos! The mixed reviews I have heard are from friends of mine who have either seen it or were a part of it. This movie was filmed on location in Roswell, NM at the New Mexico Military Institute(NMMI). I am an alum of the 'Tute and though was not attending while this was filmed, I can attest that it was filmed with actual cadets as extras and on the campus of an actual military school. NMMI was created in 1891 in the New Mexico Territory and has been a pivotal institution in Western United States history. Many officers of our nations military has graduated from there. Some celebrities have also attended there; Roger Staubach, Owen Wilson, etc. It continues today as a 4 year high school, 2 year junior college military boarding school that has a top notch education curriculum and continues to produce high caliber leaders and innovators.
