I saw Pride of The Yankees for sell locally. I've never actually seen the movie. Is it worth picking up? I saw that it has Babe Ruth in it as himself. How does he look? Was he in bad health by the time they made this movie? |

Pride of the Yankees was nominated for 11 Academy Awards in 1942 including Best Picture, Best Actor - Gary Cooper and Best Actress - Teresa Wright. Babe Ruth plays himself and appears to be in good health as this is several years before his death in 1948. Mark Koenig, Bill Dickey, Bill Stern and Bob Meusel also appear in the film as themselves. It is generally considered one of the best baseball films ever made, certainly the best of its era. Well worth seeing. |

Pride of the Yankees is a must see film. One interesting note is that Gary Cooper was a natural righthanded hitter, so the editors simply reversed the footage to make him appear lefthanded. Even the "4" on the back of the uniform was reversed so it would look correct after the edit. |
