Review of The Pride of the Yankees (1942) by Marc W — 24 Feb 2008
When people say, "They don't make them like they used to," Pride of the Yankees is just the kind of film they're wistfully remembering.One of the finest sports films ever made, Pride is about more than simply baseball: Gehrig, the hard-working, uncommonly talented son of immigrant parents, is the living embodiment of the American Dream.
Walter Brennan and Dan Duryea costar as a Greek chorus of sportswriters, and real-life Yankees Bill Dickey, Mark Koenig, Bob Meusel, and Babe Ruth appear as themselves.
