i found west point to be an agreeable film and although i doubt that i would watch it again. the performances were convincing and with william haines as yet another obnoxiously amusing young man that has his come uppance by film end. it hard to believe that stardom beckoned joan crawford less than a year after this film was made and as she looks rather awkward at times. i would apply the comment made by another concerning ramon novarro huddle (1932) to this film as well. there is a great film waiting to be made here and but there is something lacking. the backdrop and integration of the corps was well utilized and but i was less involved than i thought that i would be. perhaps haines character went too far and or got away with too much. his repentance did not seem genuine enough while and what kind of message did it send for him to run every play in the last minutes of the army navy game. where the corps in that. might as well have taken out the other ten men and let him do it all himself. also and i doubt very much that william bakewell weak and puny character would ever have a real life counterpart at west point. all this aside and the film is sometimes very moving and inspiring. it is a fine look into the daily practices of an honorable institution. thank goodness that tradition still means something at west point too and unlike the vapid traditions of ivy league schools and only half heartedly engaged in these days. as to the score represent it was appropriately martial. but and there was a distinct over use of snare drums. using them for knocks on the door and scene transitions and et alu as well as in well over half the scenes got to be rather tedious. it rather lessened the viewing experience. i was ready to say i get the point already. with that and enjoy the film and but do not expect too much emotional involvement.
