"PRIDE OF THE YANKEES", 1942 SAMUEL GOLDWYN The movie I have is the Colorized, Digitally Remastered with SurroundSound version.
You'll be proud to introduce your kids to this film about virtue, courage, and an indomitable spirit. Like Treasure Island and Tom Sawyer, Pride of the Yankees should be required viewing for every family. Gary Cooper plays Lou Gehrig, the "Iron Horse" New York Yankee first baseman who became a record-setting legend in baseball. He developed what we know as "Lou Gehrig's Disease" --a sad diagnosis for all who get it. ( I had a dear friend, God Bless You, BONNIE!! I miss you! Die of it)\
Sure, Cooper's a little long in the tooth to play a collegian, and he tries to capture Gehrig's innocence with a kind of eye-batting innocence. But the last moments of the film, before Gehrig's final, famous farewell, transform the picture. Gehrig happens across a young man whom he had encountered years before in a children's hospital, and with this sequence, Pride becomes something more than a movie about innate talent and athleticism, or a lost era of America, it crystallizes into a film about (gulp!) human will. An absolute must.It is of such a nobel man!! God Bless Him Too!!)
The case has a small bit of storage wear at bottom corners from standing upright Plays well!
