Critics Consensus: The equally tragic and heroic story of Yankee's first baseman Lou Gehrig is eloquently told here with an iconic star turn by Gary Cooper.

Maté achieves exhilaration from his angle shooting and the feeling throughout out of a concave screen. Whatever feel of baseball this picture has is the result of his running camera.
The best part of Pride of the Yankees is its grade-A love story.
Surprisingly dreary and lifeless.
For baseball and non-baseball fan alike, this sentimental, romantic saga of the NY kid who rose to the baseball heights and later met such a tragic end is well worth seeing.
As a simple, moving story with an ironic heart-tug at the end, it serves as a fitting memorial to the real Lou, who called himself the luckiest man alive.
[It's] perceived by many film-goers as the best baseball sports biopic ever. It might be right, but only by default.
The Coop mannerisms aren't really suited to Gehrig, but he gives a typically sympathetic performance alongside Wright and real-life stars such as Babe Ruth.
Gary Cooper brings the Yankee legend to life with great honesty and emotion.
Gary Cooper gives a splendid, Oscar-nominated performance as lou Gehrig in Sam Wood's nostalgic but touching biopic of the Iron man, first baseman of the NY Yankess.
Heartwarming baseball classic for tweens and up.
Classic.
The Pride of The Yankees is a tribute to an American sports hero, but made and released during World War II it is also a tribute to the soldiers fighting overseas.
Maybe not strictly factual but very involving and profoundly moving. If the ending doesn't break your heart you don't have one.
Super Reviewer
You would think that just looking at Gary Cooper would be enough. But it wasn't enough to hide the fact that for a college guy he looked about 35 years old and his mother looked like his grandmother (even when he was 9)and Gary Cooper's beauty wasn't enough to hide the fact that this was a war propaganda movie.
Best baseball movie of all time.
if his famous speech as lou gehrig don't make you cry like a lil baby you ain't human!
