A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
A film by Penny Marshall
w/ Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty
Rated PG
2hr 8min
SANTA FE GIRLS' SCHOOL Sunday Matinee Series continues
as we celebrate 25 years of educating girls!
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.
"With this tribute to the real-life All American Girls Professional Baseball League (1942-1954), director Penny Marshall confirms what some of us have suspected all along -- that she can play hardball in Hollywood's big leagues."
Jackie Potts
Miami Herald
"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."
