The Spirit of Culver is a 1939 drama starring Jackie Cooper and Freddie Bartholomew. Directed by Joseph Santley and written by Whitney Bolton and Nathanael West, the film is a remake of 1932's Tom Brown of Culver.
Tom Allen, the son of a decorated war hero who is feared to have died in battle, wins a scholarship to the Culver Military Academy. His arrogance and unwillingness to comply with the academy's strict rules soon gets him in trouble, but through the help of his roommate he gets by.
Filming took place partly at Culver Military Academy. Tim Holt had been a student there.[1]
