 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: The Long Gray Line   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
John Ford's sentimental look at the history of West Point through the eyes of one of its longest residents, The Long Gray Line (1955) touches upon many of the director's favorite themes, but fails to rank as one of his best films.
But despite its attractive premise, The Long Gray Line tends to wander and fails to achieve any kind of narrative focus — two hours and 15 minutes may seem like a good length for a film, but perhaps not one that intends to sum up 50 years of a man's life.
The Long Gray Line was Ford's first CinemaScope film, and while he did not care for the widescreen format, he effectively captures West Point's parade grounds and dining halls with a broad sweep.
