Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Gary Cooper's natural nobility made him the perfect choice to play Lou Gehrig, the New York Yankee legend whose career was cut short by disease. Sam Wood (King's Row) directs this touching story of Gehrig's love of baseball from childhood, his friendship with Babe Ruth (who plays himself in the film), his marriage, career triumphs, and eventual resignation from the game. Teresa Wright is wonderful as Gehrig's supportive wife. Cooper's heartbreaking re-creation of Gehrig's farewell speech to Yankee fans is a magnificent moment. --Tom Keogh

You'll be proud to introduce your kids to this film about virtue, courage, and an indomitable spirit. Like Treasure Island and Tom Sawyer, Pride should be required viewing for every family. Gary Cooper plays Lou Gehrig, the "Iron Horse" New York Yankee first baseman who became a record-setting legend in baseball. Sure, Cooper's a little long in the tooth to play a collegian, and he tries to capture Gehrig's innocence with a kind of eye-batting dopiness. But the last moments of the film, before Gehrig's final, famous farewell, transform the picture. Gehrig happens across a young man whom he had encountered years before in a children's hospital, and with this sequence, Pride becomes something more than a movie about innate talent and athleticism, or a lost era of America, it crystallizes into a film about (gulp!) human will. An absolute must. --Keith Simanton

How many editions are there going to be? They have special editions, ultimate, anniversary, etc. Instead of coming out with the same movie over and over again, how about putting some more classics out there. The African Queen, Cavalcade, Samson and Delilah and The Uninvited, to name just 4, still aren't on DVD yet!

I first saw this film on Turner Classic Films on cable and couldn't wait to get myself a copy. Gary Cooper and Teresa Wright are dynamite. They had wonderful chemistry and did a beautiful performance! Gary Cooper was right handed so he batted right handed and they made him run to third base for the filming.
The film portraits Lou and his family true to life as well as the climax between Babe Ruth and Lou. A touching story that will make you want more. Good clean fun for the whole ... Read More

PRIDE OF THE YANKEES was released in 1942 to both critical and commercial success. It is at once a sports movie and a romance, with both dramatic and comedic elements. The cast is absolutely wonderful, with stellar performances by Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright and Walter Brennan leading a well rounded bevy of supporting actors including Dan Duryea and Ludwig Stossel & Elsa Janssen (as Mom & Pop Gehrig). Director Sam Wood (A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, Our Town, Goodbye Mr. Chips, ... Read More

Stodgy. Hokey. Stiff. Predictable. You know the type. This is the kind of movie that gives those cliches a bad name. And to think... 50 years before Forrest Gump we had Gary Cooper doing it up first! The dim-witted country bumpkin-type... hamming it up as a sort of cross between a alchoholically impaired Stan Laurel and a gay Lurch the Butler. It's somehow hard to believe that our 6' 3" tall leading man could be the dutiful son of two short fat Austrian-American parents! And the dialog....!! Funny! ... Read More
