League Of Their Own, A

TOM HANKS stars as Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up ball player whose big league days are over. Hired to coach in the All-American Girls Baseball League of 1943 – while the male pros are at war – Dugan finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his ‘all-girl’ team. GEENA DAVIS is Dottie Hanson, the ‘baseball dolly’ with a Babe Ruth swing who, together with teammates MADONNA, LORI PETTY and ROSIE O'DONNELL, are taking the team to the World Series.

Critic Reviews:

• " With this tribute to the real-life All American Girls Professional Baseball League (1942–1954), director Penny Marshall confirms what some of us have suspected all along – that she can play hardball in Hollywood's big leagues. " – Jackie Potts

• " A comfortable, promising setup that's employed to pervasively watchable effect. " – David Nusair

• " The film is an easygoing, fun time. " – Richard Propes
