You can't keep a good man down. Monty Stratton (James Stewart) was a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox in the 1930s. From humble farm yard beginnings he became a top player, but tragedy struck and he lost a leg after a hunting accident. This is his inspirational story. It is what it is really, a film heavy on sentimentality that is virtually impossible not to warm to. Perfect casting pitches...
