THE BABE RUTH STORY (1948)
Babe Ruth was such a Paul Bunyan figure in life (his unprecedented feats at bat were rivaled only his by gastronomical and carnal appetites), that his many manifestations on film have failed to measure up. William Bendix may have resembled the Bambino, but attempts to sentimentalize and sanitize his supersize personality landed with a thud.
