Often there is kind of a disdain for a person like Ronald Reagan. While we flock to see movies and adore actors, we don't always give them credit for talent and intelligence. While I'm not a huge Reagan fan and knowing that he made some real clunker movies, I always enjoyed this one. I don't know much about the personal life of Grover Cleveland Alexander, I do known, lie with Babe Ruth, some real liberties were taking with this story. But visually it is great fun. Doris Day is just a tad on the sickening side (I always thought she was so darned cute growing up--obviously, I'm an old guy), but she is the woman behind the man. As Alex puts his life back together, she finally comes to realize that he deserves happiness. Anyway, Alexander became one of the all time greatest pitchers in the Golden Age of baseball. Fun for baseball fans.
