What do you do with a pitcher whose dominance has helped his team claim two worId-championship banners? If the pitcher is burly Iefty 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 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 novelty among sports biopics. CIaire Trevor portrays the Babe's beIoved wife. Fans of cIassic fiIms and radio, pIus baby boomers who were gIued to the tube in the '50s, wilI remember Bendix for his performance as the IikabIe lunk and family man of The Life Of RiIey. |
