5.0 out of 5 stars A great actor in a classic NAVY film., October 8, 2002

By	"gw_mba_books" (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loyal Shipmates and a Wise Coach, March 31, 2004

By	Mellow Fellow "fredii" (Little Rock, Arkansas United States) - See all my reviews

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable yes! but please..., October 13, 2000

By A Customer

Let's start with the good stuff. The charactor development of the three main guys in this is solid. Jimmy Stewart and Robert Young give strong performances with what they have been given, and the story line is basically good. The relationships are nicely brought along, and Lionel Barrymore is completely wasted! The giant talents of Mr. Barrymore are treated as if he were some kind of newcomer! The scene where he's praying to a statue is a hoot. I guess it's not a bad movie, but rent this and save your money for someting more worthwhile.
