It's up on YouTube in its entirety for free. I just had to watch it one more time. Of course, my mind wandered back to the spring of my fish year when it was played at Guion (sp?) Hall. Towards the end of the film the BQ fish come out with BTHO the Class of '69. The pissheads were so impressed they threw us an appreciation party in the dorm 7 showers. To this day every time I walk down the quad, I swear I can see steam coming out of the Dorm 7 bricks.

I too first saw this movie when I was a fish, in my case in early 1967. I love what you can glean from the movie about A&M in the 40s.

That was my father's time. He was Class of '44 and it was filmed while he was on campus, so he is probably in some of the crowd scenes. He lived in Hart Hall and ate in Sbisa, so much of the movie was shot in his area of campus.

The "new" area, which is now the Corps dorm area, had opened in 1939, but I don't think much if any of the movie was shot over there.

I have the DVD and used to have the VCR tape, which my father and I watched together. He loved it.

That is the original Reveille.

They built the Bonfire much larger that year because they were filming it. In those days they built it on the drill field.
