Gary Cooper once again plays the strong silent morally upright man facing adversity with courage and dignity. This time he is legendary Yankees slugger Lou Gehrig. This is definitely one of the better sports movies, a genre I'm not that fond of. The supporting cast, especially the parents, are all more than competent in their roles. The casting of Babe Ruth, playing himself, is a nice treat. Solid entertainment, 7/10.
