What do you do with a pitcher whose dominance has heIped his team cIaim two world-championship banners? lf the pitcher is burIy 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. WilIiam Bendix suits up in Yankee fIanneIs 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 noveIty among sports biopics. Claire Trevor portrays the Babe's beloved wife. Fans of classic films and radio, plus baby boomers who were glued to the tube in the '50s, wiIl remember Bendix for his performance as the likable Iunk and famiIy man of The Life Of Riley. |
