The Pride of the Yankees (Collector's Edition) Summary His Talent Made Him A Legend. His Courage Made Him A Hero. Gary Cooper Is Nothing Short Of Wonderful (the Motion Picture Guide) In This Moving True Story Of Lou Gehrig, The Hall-of-fame Ballplayer Who Reached The Heights Of Stardom Only To Face Tragedy With A Dignity That Inspired A Nation. Nominated* For Eleven Academy AwardsÂ(r), Including Best Picture, The Pride Of The Yankees Is A Glorious [and] Inspiring (the Hollywood Reporter) Sports Classic. Lougehrig's Boyhood Dreams Come True When He Signs On With The New York Yankees And Takes The Field Alongside His Idol, Babe Ruth. In Fact, Lou Considers Himself 'the Luckiest Man In The World Until Unthinkable Misfortune Strikes, And He Must Summon All His Courage To Face His Toughest Battle Yet.

When people say, "They don't make them like they used to," Pride of the Yankees is just the kind of film they're wistfully remembering. Nominated for 11 Academy awards (winning one for film editing), this handsome biographical drama of baseball legend Lou Gehrig is one of the most finely crafted films ever to emerge from Hollywood. Gary Cooper, that great oak of an American actor, progresses from the awkward and naively shy rookie to the seasoned "Iron Horse" first baseman of the New York Yankees without losing his idealism or modesty. Teresa Wright captures the same slice of Americana with her mixture of girl-next-door sweetness and urban sophistication as his supportive wife, Eleanor. After he's diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disease (known today simply as Lou Gehrig's disease), Cooper delivers Gehrig's famous retirement speech from the mound of Yankee Stadium with the courage and spirit of a winner: "I consider myself to be the luckiest man on the face of the earth." One of the finest sports films ever made, Pride is about more than simply baseball: Gehrig, the hard-working, uncommonly talented son of immigrant parents, is the living embodiment of the American Dream. Walter Brennan and Dan Duryea costar as a Greek chorus of sportswriters, and real-life Yankees Bill Dickey, Mark Koenig, Bob Meusel, and Babe Ruth appear as themselves. --Sean Axmaker
