This is a very well done true life based movie on baseball legend Monty Stratton. Back in the 30's Monty Stratton was a great pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. But due to a hunting accident he lost his leg. But through will, determination and the love of his family and friends he walked and pitched again. The film stars James Stewart as Monty Stratton and June Allyson as Ethel Stratton. Great performances from both. Plus a great supporting role from actor Frank Morgan. The story is well done and was interesting. A inspirational story. Plus a great film for those who enjoy baseball films. Well worth a watch.
