Movie Info
High-spirited Irish immigrant Marty Maher (Tyrone Power) is an awkward misfit at West Point until he's taken in as an assistant by kindly athletic director Capt. Herman J. Koehler (Ward Bond). A budding romance that turns into a happy marriage to a fellow Irish immigrant, housemaid Mary O'Donnell (Maureen O'Hara), also helps Maher mellow into a beloved and long-standing fixture at the military academy, where his career as an officer and mentor spans 50 years. This film is based on a true story.

Audience Reviews for The Long Gray Line
-
Feb 27, 2022One of Ford's least interesting works. It suffers from the typical biopic problems and a lot of the humor feels like a cheap knockoff of better material from "The Quiet Man".
-
Jan 25, 2009Earnest but somewhat schmaltzy drama of career West Point teacher, good cast even if the accents are laid on a little thick.
-
May 17, 2006great look at the tradition and history of West Point, accurate or not its a great film
