Feb 10, 2014Gary Cooper does Lou Gehrig well. Maybe that is because Gehrig was an honest and straight forward guy and Gary Cooper's acting is always straight forward without nuance. I find it fascinating that this came out so soon after Gehrig's retirement and death.John B Super Reviewer

Dec 12, 2012You 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.Bathsheba M Super Reviewer

Apr 14, 2010Maybe not strictly factual but very involving and profoundly moving. If the ending doesn't break your heart you don't have one.jay n Super Reviewer
