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.

Lou Gehrig was one of the greatest baseball players of all time, and one of the most courageous as he fought a disease that was named after him. It's very debilitating and unpleasant. Lou played with the New York Yankees at a time when the likes of Babe Ruth were with them also. It's a movie that will gnaw at you for a while. Not easy to forget.

The greatest American export…

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2017

…“American culture.” A very heavy component of that culture are the movies that the dream-factory of Hollywood churns out. Professional sports are also an aspect of that culture, and this movie represents a nexus of the two, intensified since it involves two all-time icons of those respective components: Gary Cooper for the movies; and Lou Gehrig for baseball. Cooper plays Gehrig. The Vine Program offered me a book on how this movie was made, The Pride of the Yankees: Lou Gehrig, Gary Cooper, and the Making of a Classic . I thought, why not watch the movie first, then I’ll find out about the nitty-gritty mechanics, as well as the machinations behind the scenes.

In regards to my perspective, I’ve watched very little professional sports in half a century. Gehrig was before my time. Nonetheless, I once had a pantheon of heroes, mainly from baseball, when the box seats were three dollars at Forbes field, 50 cents for a seat in the bleachers, and if the baseball got stuck in the ivy on the outfield wall, it was a ground rule double. The climactic moment of my sports hero adulation was Game 7 of the 1960 World Series when Pittsburgh beat, yes, these self-same Yankees. Wikipedia has just informed me that that 1960 game was the last time any of the four major league Pittsburgh sports teams won a championship in Pittsburgh (the Steelers have always won at a neutral site, and the June 11, 2017 Stanley Cup win was in Nashville).

It is still called “Lou Gehrig’s disease,” a particularly bad card one can draw in life. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) simply does not roll off the tongue as easily, and is never pronounced in the movie. There was no cure or treatment then, and there is none now. Particularly ironic that he should contract this disease because he was called the Iron Man of Baseball, having played in 2130 consecutive games. The record stood for 56 years, to be surpassed finally by Carl Ripkin of the Baltimore Orioles in the 1990’s.

The movie was shot in black and white, and has now been “colorized.” It was released in 1942, not that long after his death in 1941, at the age of 37. It was a very different America. The players did not wear batting helmets, the cops did not have guns, no one used seat belts, and the baseball teams were all white (it would only be in 1947 when Jackie Robinson would become the first black to play in the major leagues). The movie does show Gehrig being beaned in the head, as he runs the bases – and it remains an open question if that might have been a catalyst, though unlikely, for ALS. Babe Ruth plays himself in the movie, the other titan of the Yankees at the plate and a useful very roguish foil to Gehrig’s proper and gentlemanly conduct. Much of the movie is not about baseball, but rather “romance,” in particular his courtship and marriage to Eleanor Twitchell. It was a VERY sedate courtship, because of the heavy censorship of movies by an official “Board.” The wrestling scene of the beach is as provocative as it gets. The movie finishes with his famous “I’m the luckiest man alive” speech at Yankee stadium, as he retires, two years before his death. It remains a very moving testament to a very great man.

How to rate this movie is very difficult. Certainly allowances should be made for its time, place and content. I found it both sappy and manipulative. Gehrig is portrayed as a perfect human being: the dutiful and obedient son who is sorry his baseball homerun broke a window; the fraternity pledge at Columbia who is so grateful of getting his pin, despite the ridicule and abuse he takes. An “ah-shucks” courtship, devoid of any lust, and a workmanlike attitude towards his chosen profession, of which he really was good at. On the other hand, isn’t it refreshing to see a “home-run king” portrayed who probably could not pronounce “steroids” either? And he really was a man who served as an inspiration when life dealt him a very bad card. If the movie was a “little over the top” in terms of unrealistic heroism, might it be OK to forgive a bit, since it was in part made to serve as an inspiration for those who also drew a very different bad card in life, which could be equally fatal: being required to make amphibious assaults from Guadalcanal to Okinawa. On balance, 4-stars.

~ If You Love True Stories, True Love, or Strength of Character, this Movie is Well Worth Your Time! ~

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

The Pride of the Yankees is the true story of "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig, who was given his nickname of the "Iron Horse" because he played 2,130 consecutive games, never missing, always giving all that he had to his team and his trade. Wow! He is definitely a super hero, strong in character and well worthy of his fame, loyal and true, a rock. We absolutely love this movie, catching a glimpse into his life, from his humble childhood up to his fame and his true love and thoughtfulness for his wife and, through all that he went through, his final speech, "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth" and "I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for." What a beautiful and strong man. His own and his beautiful wife's courage and strength are inspiring.

This movie has everything, really. True sports stories are usually inspiring, but this one may be the best ever. Also, it's very cool that Babe Ruth, Bill Dickey, Bob Meusel, Mark Koenig of the Yankees actually played themselves (How cool is that?!) and Bill Stern (host of the first sports talk show on radio) also played himself. We enjoyed this movie immensely. It truly has something for everyone. If you love old movies, true stories, true love, and strength of character, it's well worth your time. Fabulous movie! Absolutely.

Courage and Heroism in Perfect Form

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2004

Verified Purchase

"The Pride of the Yankees" is without a doubt one of the best baseball films of all time. Why? Because it isn't just about baseball. It's about a real person seeking that seemingly impossible American dream and capturing it, only to lose it all too soon. Cooper plays Gehrig with so much heart in this film, that the movie almost seems unreal due to the fact that Gehrig was such a good person, both as a human and as a star athlete.
There are few professional athletes in the world who show so much character and so much love to others as Gehrig did. He faced death with honor and courage. He was and is a true hero. If you're looking for an athlete for your children to look up to, pick the "Iron Man of Baseball."
This film does exceptionally well in capturing the heart and soul of Gehrig. It is a great family film and I highly recommend it. Gehrig might have been in Ruth's(and later, DiMaggio's)shadow, but he was so much bigger than these guys. He was honest, hard-working, and approached people long after the cameras were gone.
Add this one to your collection. It's a keeper, even if you don't know the difference between a baseball and a ball of yarn.

A Great Movie About and Extraordinary Man

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

What can you say about Lou Gehrig ? To me he was as good as there was.
They didn't call him " Iron Horse " for nothing. Had he not gotten sick I
think he would still hold his records.
The man off the field was even better than on it. He was just a quite
country boy who loved his family. He was gentle and humble. He didn't need
to talk once he stepped on the field. His bat did that for him.
This is as true a story of Lou Gehrig you will find.
It is worth watching just for his final trip to the stadium.
Gary Cooper did a great job as he always did in most of his movies
and was really the perfect actor for the job.
Even if not a baseball fan this is still a good to watch. It focuses as much
as his off field life with his family as on the field. He was called the " Iron Horse "
for a reason and the name fit even better when dealing with his ALS.

Für mich nicht der große Wurf

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on March 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

Der große Wurf war mir nicht bekannt und als großer Fan von Film Bio's,wollte ich ihn unbedingt sehen nachdem ich den Film mit John Goodman über Babe Ruth gesehen hatte(Ein beeindruckender Film).Im Vorfeld hatte ich schon einiges über den Film gelesen und da hieß es bestellen.Mittlerweile ist er eingetroffen und ich habe ihn mir angesehen.Zuerst die positiven Aspekte.Bild und Ton sind für einen rund 80 Jahre alten Film sehr gut.Dazu kommen die mir bestens bekannten Synchronstimmen.Jetzt zum Film selbst.Mir ist natürlich bewusst daß man einen Film dieses Alters anders betrachten muss als einen der heutigen Zeit.Die Sehgewohnheiten ändern sich nunmal.Aber trotz besserem Wissen, kommt bei mir zu keiner Zeit das Gefühl auf es handele sich um ein"Bio Pic".Der gesamte Film wirkt auf mich wie eine der zahllosen belanglosen Komödien der damaligen Zeit ohne Biografischen Hintergrund..Alle sind total super lieb (Mama Gehrig und der Lou vorweg),nach einigen Widerständen (Lou soll ja unbedingt Ingenieur wie Onkel Peter werden) erfüllt sich das Schicksal, die unvermeidlichen Herzenswirren gibt es natürlich auch, eine (nur für das Studio wichtige)Tanz und Gesangseinlage fehlt natürlich auch nicht und gäbe es nicht den tatsächlichen Tod des Helden,dann würde alle bis zum Ende der Welt übernatürlich gut,lieb und nett immer weiter durch den Film lächeln und lieben.Anders gesagt,der Film ist eine totale Schmonzette die man sehr gut an einem verregneten Sonntag mit Kaffee und Kuchen"genießen" kann.Was , für mich, aber am wenigsten nachvollziehbar ist, das ist Gary Cooper als Hauptdarsteller.Wirken die Gastauftritte ehemaliger Spieler bereits befremdlich (das nahe gelegene Altersheim hat Ausflüge gemacht), so wundere ich mich sehr das Gary nicht bereits den kleinen Lou gespielt hat.Das wäre nicht weniger verwunderlich gewesen wie ein 41 jähriger Gary Cooper und das sieht man auch,der einen 20!!! jährigen Lou Gehrig darstellt!Mir ist es unbegreiflich das sich in rund 80 Jahren nie jemand daran gestört hat.Mit der große Wurf hat man meiner Meinung nach versucht ein zu großes Filmdenkmal zu errichten und dabei auch so manchen Konstruktionsfehler begangen.Der Film ist keine totale Enttäuschung,der große Wurf (Wortspiel) zumindest für mich ganz sicher aber auch nicht.4 von 10 Punkte.

"Der große Wurf" aka "The Pride of The Yankees"

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on February 27, 2016

Eines vorweg, das ist leider notwendig, da Amazon die Rezensionen auch dort hinsetzt, wo sie eigentlich nicht hin sollten.
Diese Rezension beschreibt die DVD "L'idolo delle folle" mit der EAN 8023562004844.

Ein Film über den Baseballspieler Lou Gehrig. Im Vordergrund steht mehr seine Lebens- und Leidensgeschichte. Die Baseballszenen sind eher im Hintergrund. Mit Babe Ruth ist jedoch ein echter Spieler mit dabei.

Der Film hat neben dem englischen Originalton natürlich den italienischen, den französischen auch den deutschen.
Als Untertitel gibt es lediglich die italienischen.

Die Tonspuren sind im Menü unter 'Selezione Lingue' und deutsch als 'Tedesco' abzurufen.

Die deutsche Synchro stammt aus dem Jahr 1975. Diese Neubearbeitung wurde notwendig, da man den Film bei der Erstveröffentlichung im Jahr 1955 um ein Drittel, also 40 Minuten, gekürzt hatte. Unter den Fernsehsynchros zählt sie zweifellos zu den besseren Arbeiten. Kein Vergleich mit der beispielsweise sehr flachen von 'Casablanca'.

Synchronsprecher sind u. a. Heinz Drache für Gary Cooper (Lou Gehrig), Walter Bluhm für dessen Vater, sowie Heinz Engelmann für Babe Ruth.

Als Extras gibt es mit der Filmmusik unterlegte Galerien von Backstage- und Szenenbildern sowie Filmplakaten aus den USA, Italien, Spanien und Frankreich. Aus Deutschland bedauerlicherweise nicht.

Leider hat sich Amazon nicht auf meinen Vorschlag eingelassen, den deutschen Titel 'Der große Wurf', oder auch nur den Originaltitel 'The Pride Of The Yankees' mit einzubinden. Wenigstens konnte ich die Darsteller Gary Cooper und Babe Ruth hier anzeigen lassen.

Update von Ende 2020:

Mittlerweile klappt es auch mit den Suchbegriffen, warum nicht gleich so?
