Babe Ruth comes across as a pathetic orphan lacking in all social graces, who grew up into a self-destructive bore and hit a lot of home runs in the process. And then, in the end, when time caught up with him, he never got the message, and almost destroyed the myth that had grown up around him.
Drinking hard and playing harder, Babe Ruth rose above his hideous childhood to dominate baseball and rescue it from the brink of extinction. Subtitles: English. Starring: John Goodman Kelly McGillis Trini Alvarado Bruce Boxleitner James Cromwell. Directed by: Arthur Hiller.
