What a feel-good movie! Pride of the Yankees is the story of Lou Gehrig. It is a story about true talent, and how being kind and honest can be rewarding. Gary Cooper is wonderful as the naive and optimistic Gehrig. I also thought it was great that Babe Ruth plays himself. A classic that was most definitely a memorable film to see when it was released in 1942, only a few years after Gehrig died. You'll probably end up crying by the end.
