As America's stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall). Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) on their way to fame. Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell co-star as two of the sisters' teammates.

Elements of Madness

Like now as then, the issue of gender parity remains a hot button issue, but the way Marshall handles it throughout "League" never stoops to melancholy nor lingers too long to detract from the central premise: sports are for everyone, especially women.

Part of what makes A League of Their Own work is the wonderful cast led by Oscar-winner Hanks and the talented Davis.

I wasn't expecting much but was very pleased with it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Aussie S This is one of my favourite films of all time. I watch it every time it's on TV. Good cast and Tom Hanks is terrific as the has been coach. This film led me to investigate the real story of the women's baseball league. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Alec B Marshall lays the sappiness a bit thick (always her biggest problem) and I'm not sure the scenes set in "modern day" that open and close the film are even necessary, but the ensemble is so fantastic and the movie is so entertaining and funny that I don't really care. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review CK Movie Reviews 20 years later, and this film still hold up as one of the best baseball films of all time.
