John Ford sure directed a great classic film about West Point and Tyrone Power, (Marty Maher) played the role of an Irish immigrant who is hired to work at West Point as kitchen help. Marty broke so many dishes in the kitchen that he quite that job and enlisted in the Army at West Point and he married a sweet pretty Irish girl named Mary O'Donnell, (Maureen O'Hare). Marty and Mary enjoyed their life at West Point and they both met and made good friends of the cadets and some of them they treated like their own sons. Donald Crisp, (Old Martin) played the role as Marty's father who came from Ireland and Ward Bond, (Capt. Herman J. Kohler) gave a great supporting role to this film. Robert Francis, (Red Sundstrom Jr.) gave an outstanding performance and it is sad to say he was killed in real life in a plane crash right after making this film, he also starred in the Caine Mutiny along with Humphrey Bogart. Truly a great Classic film which you will enjoy from the beginning to the very end.
