Movie Reviews

Movie Views - 10/10 by Ryan CracknellA cold biopic that doesn't hold up now that its subject matter has left the spotlight.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Tony SlomanDirector Robert Mulligan's feature film debut is a harrowing and intense biopic of Boston Red Sox baseball star Jim Piersall, superbly portrayed by Anthony Perkins.
Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostHarrowing look at pressures on a young ballplayer.
Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAnthony Perkins gives a great, twitchy performance as Jimmy Piersall.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzHarkens back to a simpler time in baseball, where there were no steroids just eccentric players.
Old School Reviews - 6/10 by John A. Nesbitthis competent study of a baseball player going wacko is interesting enough for a one-time rental
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrAbsorbing, but rather clinical, in the rubber-gloves style of 50s television drama.
New York Times - 5/10 by Bosley CrowtherMr. Perkins plays the young fellow excellently, not only conveying the gathering torment but also actually looking like a ballplayer on the field.
User Review - 10/10 by Robin RGreat GREAT acting and stuck pretty well to the original story.
