The West Point Story - TV Series (1956)

Post by jfko6 » Tue Dec 13, 2016 4:44 pm

The West Point Story is a dramatic anthology television series shown in the United States by CBS during the 1956-57 season and by ABC during the 1957-58 season.

The West Point Story, produced with the full cooperation of the United States Department of Defense and the United States Military Academy, was said to be based on actual files documenting many of the real-life dramatic occurrences at West Point over the years. Names and dates were altered in order to protect the privacy of the real people portrayed, however. The program was hosted by a fictional cadet, Charles C. Thompson (portrayed by actor Donald May). - Wikipedia

Among those who appeared in The West Point Story are Martin Milner, Carolyn Craig, Richard Jaeckel, Dick Sargent, Pat Conway, Clint Eastwood, Ron Foster, Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman (miscredited), Hayden Rorke, Larry Pennell, Ron Hagerthy, Tyler MacDuff, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Karen Sharpe, and Leonard Nimoy as Tom Kennedy.

Nope. Not a musical. Don't know if there are any theatrical performances in the series. Eden did not sing in her episode though she had a big talent for musical rendition.

The ending to the TV series The West Point Story. The barracks, only partially seen in this video, with the low rise iron bars, placed at each main entrance near the end of this video, was demolished.
