Being a lifelong Yankee fan this movie is my all time favorite. At times it can be a bit "hokey", but that is part of the charm. Even though you know the eventual fate of Lou Gehrig you cant help feeling that somehow he would get better.
My favorite scene was after his marriage to Eleanor and they were in the car driven by Walter Brennan heading to Yankee Stadium. When the motorcycle cop pulled them over for speeding. It was so "campy" but I loved it.
This movie hit all the emotions you can have! I dare anyone to tell me that after his farewell at Yankee Stadium they didn't get a lump in their throat.
