This text is an analysis of American films made on the subject of baseball and how they reflect American life.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The recent prominence of baseball on America's movie screens (e.g., Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Eight Men Out ) has prompted renewed interest in the history of the sport's portrayal on film. This scholarly study talks of agrarian versus urban values, the natural versus the civilized hero, and the role of women in dozens of titles from the sound film era. It is an honest, well-intentioned effort undercut severely by prose as dry as the dust on a midsummer's Texas pitching mound. Given the price of this volume, most collections may want to wait for a livelier, more accessible book on the subject.
