3.0 out of 5 stars GLORY DAYS AT WEST POINT, March 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit of West Point [VHS] (VHS Tape)

DURING THE TENURE OF GLENN DAVIS AND FELIX "DOC" BLANCHARD, ARMY FOOTBALL WAS POWERFUL AND #1 IN 1944, 1945, AND 1946.

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE FOOTBALL, THE GRIDIRON ACTION SCENES ARE TERRIFIC. FOR THOSE WHO WERE NOT BORN YET OR TOO YOUNG AT THE TIME, BE ASSURED THAT WHEN YOU SEE DAVIS AND BLANCHARD IN THE MOVIE YOU ARE SEEING THEM AS THEY WERE. THE CAMERA HAS NOT BEEN SPEEDED UP, THEY WERE ACTUALLY THAT GOOD AND THEY RARELY PLAYED MORE THAN HALF THE GAME.

IN THE ARMY PROGRAMS, BLANCHARD'S WEIGHT WAS LISTED AT 205. IN FACT, HE WAS A STONE SOLID 235.

THIS MOVIE IS A SPORTS COLLECTER'S MUST!

5.0 out of 5 stars GLORY DAYS AT WEST POINT, March 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit of West Point [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A MUST FOR FOOTBALL FANS.

VIDEO GAME SCENES ARE FAIRLY CLEAR. BLANCHARD AND DAVIS WERE ACTUALLY AS GOOD AS THE FILM DEPICTS. THEY USUALLY PLAYED ONLY THE FIRST HALF OF GAMES; ARMY WAS USUALLY AHEAD AT THE HALF BY FOUR OR FIVE TDS.

DURING THE FOOTBALL SEASONS OF 1944, 1945,AND 1946, ARMY WAS THE NATION'S #1 TEAM, WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT. UNDEFEATED, THEY HAD ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN ALL-AMERICAN PLAYERS. UNDEFEATED BUT TIED (ONCE), 0-0 BY NOTRE DAME IN 1946. THEIR SQUARD WAS FOUR DEEP IN EVERY POSITION.

THE VIDEO PROVIDES AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF ACADEMY LIFE AT WEST POINT. CONSIDERING THAT D & B WERE NOT ACTORS, THEY CAME OFF PRETTY WELL.

PLENTY OF FOOTBALL. IF YOU LOVE FOOTBALL, YOU'LL LOVE THIS VIDEO.

Granted it is a lttle corny based on today's rap and hip hop standards; but the real football footage and wholesomeness of the actors (WHO PLAY THEMSELVES) are priceless.

A must see for USMA Football Fans of all ages.
