“The Pride of the Yankees” is unique within its genre. It’s not your prototypical biopic. It’s more of a memorial to the beloved and respected star player from the New York Yankees.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

There's no denying that The Pride of the Yankees is a classic sports film but it suffers like so many biopics in covering too much time in just over two hours.

This film is well worth seeing. It is an ideal part for Gary Cooper.

| May 26, 2021

Cooper - at more than 40 years old - has a difficult time being convincing (the real Gehrig was actually a teenager, signing with the Yankees when he was only 19).

Lou Gehrig's life has been portrayed onscreen with precision and realism. [Full Review in Spanish]

[It's] perceived by many film-goers as the best baseball sports biopic ever. It might be right, but only by default.

| Original Score: B- | May 30, 2018

The Coop mannerisms aren't really suited to Gehrig, but he gives a typically sympathetic performance alongside Wright and real-life stars such as Babe Ruth.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 6, 2014

Gary Cooper brings the Yankee legend to life with great honesty and emotion.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Mar 12, 2013

Mat achieves exhilaration from his angle shooting and the feeling throughout out of a concave screen. Whatever feel of baseball this picture has is the result of his running camera.

Gary Cooper gives a splendid, Oscar-nominated performance as lou Gehrig in Sam Wood's nostalgic but touching biopic of the Iron man, first baseman of the NY Yankess.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 8, 2011

Heartwarming baseball classic for tweens and up.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 18, 2010

The best part of Pride of the Yankees is its grade-A love story.

| Aug 4, 2008

Surprisingly dreary and lifeless.

The Pride of The Yankees is a tribute to an American sports hero, but made and released during World War II it is also a tribute to the soldiers fighting overseas.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 21, 2007

It's a stirring, tear-jerking film for lovers of baseball.

| Mar 14, 2007

For baseball and non-baseball fan alike, this sentimental, romantic saga of the NY kid who rose to the baseball heights and later met such a tragic end is well worth seeing.

| Mar 14, 2007

A insistncia do filme em retratar Gehrig (um ano aps sua morte) de forma unidimensionalmente herica to grande que ele acaba sendo protagonizado por simples caricaturas.
