Poor Sam also had to put up with the Brothers Marx shenanigans in A NIGHT AT THE OPERA.
In exasperation after several attempts to have Groucho read one of his lines in the manner the director had requested, Wood exclaimed, "I guess you just can't make an actor out of clay." Marx instantly responded, "Nor a director out of Wood."
That movie was a new one for me, and I found it a surprisingly good movie.
In fact, if Annapolis had such a thing as an Official Movie, this would have been a good candidate.
It contained a lot of the Naval Academy's traditions and was a good football story to boot.
I liked the way three different men came into the Academy and how they each conveyed a different aspect to "the team."
Lionel Barrymore's character added yet another dimension to the movie.
