The recent TV adaptation of A League of Their Own has once again heightened awareness of Penny Marshall’s 1992 film, which featured Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan, the hard-luck manager of a women’s professional baseball team. It marked a change in direction for Hanks, who spent most of the 1980s making straightforward comedy films.

Speaking at the time of the movie’s release, Hanks told us why he was so excited to take on the Dugan character.
