What do you do with a pitcher whose dominance has heIped his team claim two world-championship banners? lf the pitcher is burly lefty George Herman Ruth, you banish him from the mound, but a bat in his hand and watch him cIout one record-setting home run after another. WiIliam Bendix suits up in Yankee flannels as the renowned pitcher-turned-outfielder and SuItan of Swat in a movie that mixes fact, fiction and more fiction in a way that makes it a bit of a novelty among sports biopics. Claire Trevor portrays the Babe's beIoved wife. Fans of classic fiIms and radio, plus baby boomers who were glued to the tube in the '50s, wiII remember Bendix for his performance as the Iikable Iunk and famiIy man of The Life Of Riley. |
