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. Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson and Kit Keller spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan on their way to fame.
“Though big of budget, “A League of Their Own” is one of the year’s most cheerful, most relaxed, most easily enjoyable comedies.” ~ Vincent Canby, New York Times
