ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD,(Original 1951 Release)

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1951 CLASSIC, JUST RE-RELEASED & FILMED IN PITTSBURGH.FAR SUPERIOR TO THE DISNEY REMAKE..The batters couldn't hit water if it fell out of a boat. The fielders must be using frying pans instead of baseball mitts. It looks like the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates haven't got a prayer...until the prayers of a young orphan girl get the Bucs some celestial support! Comedy and charm from the winning lineup of Angels In The Outfield, starring Paul Douglas as the team's short fused manager. :Dogs have fleas, managers have sportswriters', he grouses to a columnist(Janet Leigh) covering the team. Adding to the fun are game footage from back in the day (buffs will love to spot the stars); support from Keenan Wynn, Spring Byington and more familiar talents; plus unbilled bits by baseball greats Joe DiMaggio and Ty Cobb. One more footnote about this nifty fifties diamond: President Eisenhower called it his favorite movie...Batter Up!...NR...DVD FILM CAFE FOUR STAR RECOMMENDED VIEWING
