| | The Babe DVD (3 Customer Reviews)
Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English Biography of baseball player George Herman "Babe" Ruth.
"The Babe" begins with Ruth's days in a Baltimore boys' school where Brother Mathias takes Babe under his wing and teaches him to play baseball. The film then follows him through his phenomenal career and chaotic personal life. A poignant dramatization of the phenomenal life of baseball legend Babe Ruth, from his reform-school childhood to his reigning years on the diamond and retirement from the game. Two other motive bios of the Babe are: "Babe Ruth" (1991 Made-for-TV, directed by Mark Tinker and starring Stephen Lang, Bruce Weitz, Brian Doyle-Murray, Donald Moffat, Yvonne Suhor, Lisa Zane, and Pete Rose and "Ty Cobb") and "The Babe Ruth Story" (1948, directed by Roy del Ruth and starring William Bendix, Claire Trevor, and Charles Bickford).
Not to be confused with the 1975 TV Movie "Babe" about the great female athlete, Babe Didrickson Zaharias.
Babe Ruth himself starred in a 1927 film, "Babe Comes Home," with Anna Q. Nilsson and Abel Green. Variety gave him a positive review, noting that "As a film star, Babe (George Herman) Ruth delivers almost as handily as on the diamond, which is saying much both ways for the King of Swat."
Wrigley Fields in Chicago was used in the film, as well as a stadium in Danville, Illinois. Matte paintings were used to simulate the other early ballparks.

-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...A crucially colorful central performance..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Goodman does a nifty impersonation of Ruth....The movie is a crowd pleaser in the best sense, a giddy celebration of the man who gave baseball its magic..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "...Intelligent, well-intentioned, highly professional in all areas....Goodman is perfect for this role..."

Gary Cooper plays Lou Gehrig, the first baseman for the Yanks who suffered from a crippling and incurable disease. Even when Gehrig was a student at Columbia University, the press had already pegged him as a top ballplayer. Soon the New York Yankees selected Gehrig for their lineup, and he became an overnight sensation on the baseball diamond. But this dedicated player--who had never missed a game once he stepped onto a Major League Baseball field--suddenly fell ill with a mysterious disease. As his body began to fail him, Gehrig had to say good-bye to the fans who idolized him and to the sport he loved so dearly. The film's final scene is a deeply moving portrait of human courage. Also not to be missed is Babe Ruth's cameo appearance as himself. Cooper's performance is outstanding, measuring up to the drama that surrounded the real-life events. THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEEES remains one of the greatest biopics ever filmed, in addition to being perhaps the best sports film of the 20th century.

One of Lucio Fulci's more obscure movies, HOUSE OF CLOCKS was produced for Italian television in 1989. Though one might think this would force the director to cut back on his trademark gore, this film certainly isn't for the squeamish. In it, a group of young thugs break into the home of an elderly couple who collect clocks with the intention of ...

Rogers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical, adapted from Margaret Landon's fact-based novel and the 1946 film ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM, makes a spectacularly successful move to the silver screen in the Yul Brynner tour de force THE KING AND I. Brynner, reprising the role he'd polished to perfection on stage, plays the blustering, headstrong Siamese potentate who meets his match in the form of Anna Leonowens (Deborah Kerr), the prim and proper English widow he's hired to ...
