The Blue and Gold

An Annapolis Story alternative titles The Blue and Gold and Navy Air Patrol is a 1955 American drama film directed by Don Siegel and starring John Derek, Diana Lynn and Kevin McCarthy.A product of the newly formed Allied Artists company, An Annapolis Story, despite having the Siegel Touch, suffered from its low budget.

After graduation, the two brothers are no longer close. As they begin advance training as jet pilots at the Pensacola Naval Station, Tony attempts to patch up the relationship, but Jim rebuffs him. Assigned to an aircraft carrier overseas, Tony and Jim end up on leave in Tokyo, where Tony meets Peggy, who tells him that it is Jim whom she really loves. He finally accepts the situation, and when he has the chance to make amends, Tony not only rescues his older brother during a dangerous mission, but also courageously fights off an enemy fighter during the rescue attempt. Checking on his wounded brother, he sees Peggy is there already and that Jim and Peggy will be happy together.When director Don Siegel was assigned the project, An Annapolis Story was to be shot on the cheap, with directions to use as much stock footage as possible. Hampered by budgetary constraints and even a minor rebellion from star John Derek, who insisted on switching roles with Kevin McCarthy at the last moment, Siegel made a number of compromises, using his former background as an editor for major studios to advantage.
