- as one of the singing troops with Cagney. Of course, she takes a shine to the sought-after recruit, played by Gordon MacRae. These two have a very nice, believable chemistry and starred together four times, making MacRae the actor Day worked opposite the most, and not Rock Hudson, who most people associate her with. They’re the ones who educate viewers about the Kissing Rock at the Academy.
There’s a lot of fun with The West Point Story, especially watching Cagney having to live like he’s a cadet himself. It changes his life, and it makes us laugh.
This is a very nice old style musical. It’s upbeat and ends happily. It’s just my style.
