The best part of Pride of the Yankees is its grade-A love story.

The Coop mannerisms aren't really suited to Gehrig, but he gives a typically sympathetic performance alongside Wright and real-life stars such as Babe Ruth.

Classic.

Gary Cooper brings the Yankee legend to life with great honesty and emotion.

Maté achieves exhilaration from his angle shooting and the feeling throughout out of a concave screen. Whatever feel of baseball this picture has is the result of his running camera.

Surprisingly dreary and lifeless.

Gary Cooper gives a splendid, Oscar-nominated performance as lou Gehrig in Sam Wood's nostalgic but touching biopic of the Iron man, first baseman of the NY Yankess.

A insistência do filme em retratar Gehrig (um ano após sua morte) de forma unidimensionalmente heróica é tão grande que ele acaba sendo protagonizado por simples caricaturas.

As a simple, moving story with an ironic heart-tug at the end, it serves as a fitting memorial to the real Lou, who called himself the luckiest man alive.

It's a stirring, tear-jerking film for lovers of baseball.

For baseball and non-baseball fan alike, this sentimental, romantic saga of the NY kid who rose to the baseball heights and later met such a tragic end is well worth seeing.
