Gary Cooper's natural nobility made him the perfect choice to play Lou Gehrig, the New York Yankee legend whose career was cut short by disease. Sam Wood (<I>King's Row</I>) directs this touching story of Gehrig's love of baseball from childhood, his friendship with Babe Ruth (who plays himself in the film), his marriage, career triumphs, and eventual resignation from the game. Teresa Wright is wonderful as Gehrig's supportive wife. Cooper's heartbreaking re-creation of Gehrig's farewell speech to Yankee fans is a magnificent moment. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Reader Reviews
Gary Cooper plays Lou Gehrig. Gehrig was the New York Yankee first baseman who followed Babe Ruth in the line-up before succumbing to the disease which bears his name. Gehrig gave his famous Farewell Speech at Yankee Stadium, July 4, 1939: "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for." This is a black and white classic. Too bad that young audiences are reluctant to watch older films. It is also a shame that baseball players from the steroids generation have so little in common with Lou Gehrig, a man of integrity.
