Beyond Glory (1948)
9/10
Under-appreciated Alan Ladd film.
6 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Set in West Point just after World War II, this fine film involves a trial-like hearing in which West Point is accused of certain abuses -- by a bunch of anti-Americans who act like they stepped right out of Congress circa 2009.

The story centers on Alan Ladd, now serving as an instructor, and a battlefield incident whereby he's accused of cowardice. Donna Reed plays a war widow who becomes friends with Ladd, and Audie Murphy has his first screen role in a minor part. The conclusion includes a glimpse of General Dwight Eisenhower.

The entire film is dis-recommended for Liberal cut-n-run's, obviously. Try looking for this one on eBay and cross your fingers.
