Short Review

Navy Blue and Gold is an excellent film. It is about a son who joins the Naval Academy under a false name so that he could clear his father's name who was a career Naval officer. Robert Young and James Stewart give incredible performances. The screenplay is well written. Sam Wood did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Navy Blue and Gold is a must see.
