Cuna de héroes (1955)
Basada en hechos reales. Narra la historia del sargento Marthy Maher, que durante cincuenta años sirvió en la academia militar de West Point. Cuando el ejército de Estados Unidos, dada su avanzada edad, intentó jubilarlo, Marthy, entrenador de atletismo en la Academia Militar y amigo y “padre” de varias generaciones de cadetes, presentó una contundente protesta al Presidente de la nación.
