Rotten mechanics can take me right out of the story. (See every Babe Ruth bio pick ever made. William Bendix? John Goodman? Arrgh and arrgh.) The one exception was the Jimmy Piersall bio pic, Fear Strikes Out, with the awkwardly lame and unathletic Tony Perkins. The story and the acting of Perkins and Karl Malden trumped the lame mechanics. Hope you see it eventually and write about it.steve shilstonehttp://bekkaofthorns.comnoreply@blogger.com
