Reviews from our users [Review this film]
"Considered a classic back in the 40's it is a tough watch for today's younger generation. The acting is solid with Gary Cooper playing a great Lou Gehrig. The greatest treat is seeing Babe Ruth play himself." --Jason of Baseballmovie.com
"A great movie any fan should see" --Kevin
"What a GREAT movie!!!! the story of Lou Gehrig and his struggle, was truly touching, a tear jerker and two thumbs up, and I'm not even a yankee fan (I'm a met fan)" --Anthony
