I had seen this film when it first came out, and, looking at it today, I must say that it aged pretty well. I watched it with my wife. It was the first time for her and she enjoyed it too. Now she knows the origin of: There’s no crying in baseball. I love to use that line.
Here is a compelling story put on screen by a talented director and great actors. It makes for a very entertaining two hours of movie watching.
