What do you do with a pitcher whose dominance has helped his team claim two world-championship banners? lf the pitcher is burly lefty George Herman Ruth, you banish him from the mound, but a bat in his hand and watch him clout one record-setting home run after another. WilIiam Bendix suits up in Yankee fIannels 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 novelty among sports biopics. Claire Trevor portrays the Babe's beloved wife. Fans of cIassic films and radio, pIus baby boomers who were gIued to the tube in the '50s, will remember Bendix for his performance as the likable lunk and family man of The Life Of RiIey. |
