The Long Gray Line
(1955)
Directed by John Ford
this film based on a true story stars Tyrone Power, Maureen O'Hara
and Ward Bond. An Irish immigrant spends fifty years working at West
Point helping train future Army officers.
Like many other films
by John Ford this film has characters of Irish decent, some slapstick
comedy and themes of military duty. Mostly this is a fairly simple
story that only gets a little overly sentimental towards the end. As
with any John Ford film this is a well made effort but not one of his
more remarkable or stand out films.
3/5
