8/10

It's pleasant, even fun, but you pretty much know where it's going, almost from the beginning.

It's a nice look at football and how it was played in the 1930s; it's a nice look at how the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis was run at that time, with some silly rules that are probably still in effect.
