Steve D 01/08/2024 Quite cheesy and obvious. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 12/17/2014 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. See more 07/31/2010 A delightful movie that the whole family can watch set at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. The story centers on the relationship of three midshippmen from different backgrounds,football, and the making of officers for the US navy. I highly recommend this movie and wish it would come out on DVD. See more 05/20/2010 Another great Jimmy Stewart movie....1937. Three USNA Middies play football and beat Army.
