The West Point Story

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The West Point Story was a dramatic anthology television series shown in the United States by CBS during the 1956-57 season and by ABC during the 1957-58 season.

The West Point Story, produced with the full cooperation of the United States Department of Defense and the United States Military Academy, was said to be based on actual files documenting many of the real-life dramatic occurrences at West Point over the years. Names and dates were altered in order to protect the privacy of the real people portrayed, however. The program was at first hosted by a fictional cadet, Charles C. Thompson (portrayed by actor Donald May), but this device was discontinued prior to the end of 1956.
