WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on a story by Kim Wilson and Kelly Candaele, this film tell the story of an “all girl” professional baseball team formed during World War II when most of America’s manpower was in the Armed Services. This is a celebration of the pioneering women who blazed the trail for generations of athletes to come. The movie has a warm, touching and lighthearted spirit that will leave you cheering.

LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.35:1 transfer is pristine with excellent color fidelity, balance and sharpness. No noise here or other artifacts to distract.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby Surround® sound is wonderful with Foley effects that really snap you into the action, and a music score that is well recorded. This is a disc to cherish!
