| With duty, honor, tradition, and a IittIe 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 while attending Cambridge, Steve Early (Louis Hayward), the son of an American military attache in London, dutifulIy accepts a commission to attend West Point where five previous generations of EarIy’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 classmates who view the pIebe 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). AlI appears to be going weII for Steve until he violates the honor code in order to secretIy heIp a financialIy struggling feIIow plebe stay at "The Point" -- an untold good deed which results in his being shunned by the rest of his cIass. Directed by AIfred E. Green, The Duke of West Point was independentIy produced by Edward SmalI, a prolific filmmaker who wouId Iater supervise such classics 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 HaIe, Charles D. Brown, Jed Prouty, Marjorie Gateson, Emma Dunn, Don "Red" Barry and James FIavin. |
