tejasjeepgirl This is really a WWII movie that happens to be set at Texas A&M University. It's a really great flick to kick back and watch - especially if you are an Aggie or WWII buff. I saw this for the first time when I was at A&M and loved it. No it wasn't Robert Mitchum's best movie, but it really wasn't his worst either. Noah Berry also went on to greater stardom. Anne Gwynne was featured in many monster movies in the 40's and 50's. I have an original set of Movie Lobby Cards, along with a press release and corresponding picture from the movie. I have them framed in my office. I would love to find an original poster. I've searched for years and haven't found one yet for sale. Here is a bit of trivia for you: Anne Gwynne - she's the grandmother of Chris Pine (of Star Trek fame!).

psyco_ducky As an Aggie I can appreciate the glimpse of "Ole Army" that the film gives us. I saw footage of my dorm just years after it was built as well as other buildings I frequent. The first part is a pretty standard story. Cadet comes to A&M, Doesn't like it. Then, learns the meaning of Aggie spirit and excels. Quite suddenly however the plot goes from "Leave It To Beaver" to "Manchurian Canidate". I had trouble following the second half of the movie. In fact, the ending is so bizarre that you'll have to see it for your self to fully comprehend the weirdness. I always wondered why the school didn't make a big deal out of the film (like Notre Dame makes about Rudy)after seeing the film I understand why its relegated to a dusty corner of the bookstore. I have heard from an old professor at A&M, that when A&M administrators saw the completed movie, they were horrified and pulled more than a few strings to see that it wasn't widely released. Do your self a favor, skip the film and go to an Aggie football game instead.

docadams This World War II propaganda film is not to be missed. As one of my father's friends described it: "The other night I saw this crazy movie about an Aggie kamakazie..." Well the plot is odd, set at Texas A&M College (Whoop!). You have to see this movie at the Grove, on campus in the summertime to really get the full effect. Audience participation is essential.It is a classic of sorts, along with the Victory at Sea series, this belongs in a time capsule about political incorrectness. Still, it's fun to see Robert Mitchum playing his minor part. The voice will grab you anyway. Fun stuff from a bygone era. The closing scene is worth waiting for.

drpayne Typical WWII tear jerker. If you are part of the generation that came of age around that era you'll still get some goosebumps when you see it even though it is really quite corny. I just wished I knew when it was ever going to be on TV again so I could tape it.
