5.0 out of 5 stars
A great actor in a classic NAVY film., October 8, 2002
This review is from: Navy Blue & Gold [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A great movie for USNA grads and Army/Navy football fans. This movie gives a unique view of college football's greastest rivalry. Plus, a young Jimmy Stewart is a bonus. As for the "praying to a statue" scene mentioned by the other reviewer, it really happens. Visit the Yard during Army Week and you might just see this for yourself. As a 1995 graduate of USNA, I repeated "that scene" every year to do my part to ensure a Navy victory. Maybe you have to be a former middie to get it, but this is a great movie. Highly recommended.

Navy Blue and Gold, February 9, 2010
This review is from: Navy Blue & Gold [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I had lost hope of ever finding this video though I had taped a very poor version off the TV years ago. I was so excitied to find a video available and it was in excellent condition and actually was delivered ahead of the promised time. I had watched this movie as a little boy and dreamed about going to the Naval Academy. Now, as a Naval Academy grad with two sons going there this movie was extra special to watch with them this Holiday season. They thought it was corny -- but liked it just the same. Highly recommend for any true Navy fan. Liked it so much I bought two other copies. A true classic. Beat Army!

Loyal Shipmates and a Wise Coach, March 31, 2004
This review is from: Navy Blue & Gold [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I caught the part where a young (no pun intended!)Robert Young avenged his roomate's(Dick played by Tom Brown) tormenters, a few years ago. I bought the movie, watched the whole thing and I was not disappointed!! The three midshipmen meeting Skinny (played by Lionel Barrymore)and wins his admiration, is one event out of several, that I enjoyed.Truck (James Stewart)taking a risk to clear his father's name adds the family value to the movie.The scene at the Gates Christmas time is touching. Last but definitly not least is Graves. At the Gate's estate and at the football game. He is the true meaning of the term, gentleman's gentleman!
