RAS #708 - Alan Ladd Marches Beyond Glory

De:
This week on Ron’s Amazing Stories we head back to 1951 for The Screen Directors Playhouse production of Beyond Glory. The play first aired on May 31, 1951, and stars Alan Ladd as West Point cadet Rockwell “Rocky” Gilman.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we heard Alan as the wandering cowboy in Shane. Today, he trades in his six-shooter for a salute in a story about honor, discipline, and growing up at the legendary military academy. We’ll also chat about The Screen Directors Playhouse series, how the military was viewed in the post-WWII era, and finish with a look at West Point today.
What You Will Hear
- Alan Ladd stepping out of the saddle and into a cadet’s uniform
- A quick look at The Screen Directors Playhouse and its Hollywood connection
- A synopsis of Beyond Glory without giving away the whole plot (no spoilers!)
- Thoughts on how the military was viewed post-WWII versus today
- A closing chat about West Point and its place in history
So, saddle up—well, actually, stand at attention—for this one. It’s Alan Ladd like you’ve never heard him before.
