The Stratton Story Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The inspirational true story of Chicago White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
As directed by Same Wood, this sports biopic is too earnest and too concerned with being inspirational, but Jimmy Stewart is good.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...is sweet and uplifting, not a little corny, but helped immensely by Stewart's easygoing, soft-spoken appeal.
Photoplay
Elsa Branden
Jimmy is plenty appealing as the shy, lanky pitcher.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The picture holds the interest by its fine, sentimental story, rather than by brilliance in writing or action.
New York Times
Thomas M. Pryor
Mr. Stewart gives such a winning performance that it is almost impossible to imagine anyone else playing the role of the Chicago White Sox pitcher whose bright future was suddenly and tragically darkened by adversity in 1938.
America Magazine
Moira Walsh
Not only does it capture the flavor of the ball park and the feeling of actual play, but on at least two occasions conveys a fever of excitement.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Amidst a script that starts, stalls and plods along, Stewart is an inspiration who could probably tell 'Yo Mamma jokes to the Brady clan and Partridge family and still be their best friend.
TV Guide
This inspiring picture about a man who wouldn't give up (and who acted as the film's technical advisor) also features appearances by the Yankee great Bill Dickey and pitcher Gene Bearden as themselves.
