Classic.

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

A insistência do filme em retratar Gehrig (um ano após sua morte) de forma unidimensionalmente heróica é tão grande que ele acaba sendo protagonizado por simples caricaturas.

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.
March 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.

Gary Cooper brings the Yankee legend to life with great honesty and emotion.
May 20, 2003
As a simple, moving story with an ironic heart-tug at the end, it serves as a fitting memorial to the real Lou, who called himself the luckiest man alive.

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

Heartwarming baseball classic for tweens and up.
April 21, 2008
Surprisingly dreary and lifeless.

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.

Maté 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.
