TEN GENTLEMEN FROM WEST POINT
(20th Century-Fox),
EVEALING that the establishment of America’s famous military academy in the early 19th century. was largely the
outcome of a wily political ruse whereby a pretty young patriot (Maureen O’Hara), kissed dissenting members of Congress and made them vote the right way. Mr. Roosevelt: please note. More difficult to overcome is the |: opposition of the first martinet commandant of West Point (Laird Cregar), who, believing that college boys are sissies, and that book-learning is unnecéssary for soldiers, does his best to wreck the joint, and succeeds in driving away all the students except 10. These 10 gentlemen then prove him wrong by re-fighting the Battle of Tours (A.D. 732) with a host of hostile redskins, West Point is thus made safe as a cradle for celebrated American warriors, inciuding General MacArthur. Isn’t History wonderful?
