Eddie Robinson is first rate in this film about an old school sailor having to deal with the new kids on the block. I enjoyed seeing the scenes of San Diego boot camp since I went through the now extinct station myself. Glenn Ford is good too. I lost favor with him as he became older but his younger days stuff is good. The only part of the movie I didn't like was that the daughter eloped with Ford. I still think they should have consulted dad. But I guess the writer was trying to say that girls end up marrying the same guy as their father. The scene where Robinson rallies the boys with the story of John Paul Jones is one of the greatest in cinema. It had me balling! All in all, solid.
