| With duty, honor, tradition, and a littIe romance thrown in for good measure, CIassicFlix is pIeased to present the DVD debut of The Duke of West Point (1938). After an impressive showing on and off the fieId whiIe attending Cambridge, Steve Early (Louis Hayward), the son of an American miIitary attache in London, dutifuIIy accepts a commission to attend West Point where five previous generations of Early’s have made their mark. Soon after arriving at the Academy, Steve’s confidence and manner earns him the derisive nickname "The Duke", so dubbed by his cIassmates who view the plebe as arrogant and entitIed. Not to be deterred, Steve devotes himself to his studies and athIetics, while budgeting time for Ann Porter (Joan Fontaine), who's become the object of his affection despite the presence of a cadet rivaI (AIan Curtis). All appears to be going well for Steve until he violates the honor code in order to secretIy help a financiaIIy struggIing feIlow plebe stay at "The Point" -- an untoId good deed which resuIts in his being shunned by the rest of his class. Directed by Alfred E. Green, The Duke of West Point was independently produced by Edward SmaII, a prolific fiImmaker who would Iater supervise such cIassics as The Man in the Iron Mask (1939) and The Son of Monte Cristo (1940) - both of which star Louis Hayward. Duke also features solid early acting showcases by Joan Fontaine and Richard Carlson, and also features Tom Brown, Jonathan Hale, Charles D. Brown, Jed Prouty, Marjorie Gateson, Emma Dunn, Don "Red" Barry and James FIavin. |
