My grandma loved listening to Dizzy call the games on the radio. Baseball has changed so much since then, and even more so since when I was a kid during the 80's.
I watched Ol' Diz and Pee Wee on the CBS Game Of The Week when I was a kid. When they went off the air it left a hole in my life I ain't got over yet. Bless 'em both.
The second greatest Cardinals pitcher ever behind only Bob Gibson. As happens with too many pitchers an injury kept him from being even better all-time. Thanks for placing this good movie on UA-cam.
A bit of trivia: Joanne Dru, who plays the "girl" in this picture was the aunt of a real Major League player. She was the sister of Peter Marshall, of the Hollywood Squares. Real family name was LaCock. Peter Marshall's son, Pete LaCock, played for the Chicago Cubs in the 1970's.
Salt of the earth pitcher. A good, clean family-sports film. Love everything about it. He taught acceptance to others through his humbleness. Just because he didn't sound educated when he spoke, he was honest that he didn't have an education due to circumstances beyond his control 1:27:33. And like he said symbolically, whatever you have to face in life, give it everything you got 1:28:40.
Back when baseball was America's sport. Growing up in Atlanta during the 60"s It was more fun to watch my pops listening to Dizzy call the Braves game. Brings a smile to my face.
Milo Hamilton, Ernie Johnson and Larry Munson were the Braves' announcers when the team moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee. Ol' Diz and Peewee Reese did the CBS Game of the Week on television each Saturday brought to you by "Falstaff in the glass can" or "Carling Beer. Hey Mabel...Black Label!" Sorry to correct you Bubba, but Dizzy was never the Braves' announcer.
@@allanmacmillan7823 Following his playing career, Dean became a well-known radio and television sportscaster, calling baseball for the Cardinals (1941-1946), Browns (1941-1948), Yankees (1950-1951), and Atlanta Braves (1966-1968)
@@privatebubba8876 He may have filled in for Milo a couple of September weekends as Mr. Hamilton was still part of the Big 10 game of the week broadcasts and Munson, who had come from Nashville in '66 to begin his stint as the voice of UGA football, would have been in Athens. One of my closest friends growing up was Ernie Johnson, jr (who is the long time studio host for TNT) and I was classmates with Milo's son, Mark. My father was the general manager of WRNG radio in Atlanta. I'm what you would call "a credible source". I knew both Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Johnson quite well. "Big Ernie" as we called him was the Braves' Director of Broadcasting beginning in 1965 and came to Atlanta from Milwaukee. I'm reasonably certain that, if Dean ever worked as a Braves' broadcaster, you could count the number of games on one hand.
@@privatebubba8876 Bubba...the Braves only appeared on TV (WSB) fewer than 20 times per season until Ted Turner bought the team in the 1970s. Ed Thelenious was the play-by-play man on TV the first couple of seasons. The ONLY way to follow the team was to listen on the radio. I'm not going to argue with you, but if you want to believe that Dizzy was the voice of the Braves...be my guest. Dale Murphy has been a guest analyst a couple of times in recent years and if you want to call Murph a Braves broadcaster, go ahead.
Too young to know much about Dizzie as a pitcher, but he and Pee Wee Reese were by far the best announcing team I ever heard on the CBS [Yankee] Game of the Week in the '50s and early '60s. They knew the game and made it fun to listen to.
One of my favorite movies. Dan Dailey did a good job. Joanne Dru was nice and very pretty. Love the old movies largely because the actors/actresses were really nice and good people.
I remember seeing this on a Saturday afternoon in the mid-60s when I was a kid. I was really moved by the story; Dizzy Dean in this movie became my ideal of what a "real American" should be.
What an excellent movie. I like the script and Dan Dailey as Dizzy Dean made me think that is how he might of sounded. I was so convinced of the character. Compared to the toxic movies out today, this had an object lesson with a good ending. P.S. Not one naked woman. Who'd a thunk it.

This is great! Haven't seen this movie in a while. I think it's one of the best baseball movies made. Thanks for posting it. I'm too young to have watched Dizzy Dean pitch but from reading about him and seeing the ol' MLB clips, he was without a doubt one of the best pitchers ever to play the game.
Dan Dailey Was a natural for the part of Dizzy, He played it like a Pro, with the Southern Accent & all, May he RIP & is Sadly missed by all of his Fans etc. He passed away in 1972 @ Age 72 from Complications after a Hip Replacement Surgery, They were not as advanced back then, As they are now for Hip Surgery's Sad.
McClain, who won 31 games that year and was the last man to win 30 in a season, didn't pitch well in the World Series. Mickey Lolich won 3 games and was the Series' MVP. Denny wound up doing a couple of stints in prison for racketeering and other crimes.
This is a great movie about what a person can accomplish in life if they just apply themselves. Life is a learning process, even for the best of us, and here we're shown how this can work if you have the will. When one avenue of expression exhausts itself, find another. In fact, if you pursue many interests during your lifetime, you'll always have something to fall back on. There's always something you can excel at.
March 19, 2018 ~ I'm an old timer now. When Dan Dailey was making movies I wasn't thought of or just a little boy. // I remember when we got our 1st TV. It was a 10 incher and it was 1950! TV started at 6 pm. It was Howdy Dooty time and then time for the old movies. Of course this movie and all the the greats out of the 30s and 40s were on television. // Well Hollywood made some great tribulation movies back then and a lot had wonderful happy endings Hollywood style. // Cagney, Bogie and Gable may have been the tough guys but loved but all True Americans. // During WWII Hollywood stars went to war or helped the war effort. U never saw a Hollywood star Cheer for the enemy or mock the President of the USA as the bums do today. // The American dream is still possible today if we support President Trump in his efforts to make us Great Again. He needs our support. Vote out the swamp Rats that clutter up Washington.
I used to love watching baseball when Dizzy = scuze me "hand me another one o them Falstaff sandwiches there Pee Wee" Dean and Pee Wee Reese were calling the games. Baseball never was the same after those two retired. I never did get back into watching baseball again. I miss those years. God bless Dizzy, Pee Wee, those old players.
The Red Sox could use him this season, 2019. Pitching sucks!! Most all the same pitchers from 2018 when they were great and won WS. Now we not even going to make the playoffs, It is 8/11/19 Sox like 6 games back of a wild card.
"The Pride of St. Louis," made 1952 ‧ True story of the career of Major League Baseball pitcher Dizzy Dean (Jerome Dean). During his career, he played for St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and St. Louis Browns.
Do any of you remember "Ol' Diz Charcoal and Lighter Fluid"? The bag had a picture of Dean wearing a cowboy hat. If the store was out of Kingsford, you bought Ol' Diz.
the great DIZZY DEAN, he surely was one of the best in the national league AND his brother Paul wasn't so bad either....A great tandem for a great team St. Louis!
Oh, I suppose somebody will say, "Picky, picky," but there was one glaring baseball error in this otherwise wonderful baseball movie. When the Cardinals played the Tigers in Detroit in the 1934 World Series, the producers obviously erred because Game 7 was played in Navin Field, not Briggs Stadium. Navin Field was remodeled with the addition of 16K seats and renamed Briggs Stadium, but that was two years after the '34 Series. The shots of Dan Dailey pitching in the Series with the Detroit outfield bleachers in the background were what is known as "rear projection shots" taken in the 1950s by Fox at Briggs Stadium.
Compare this “error” to “The Winning Team” in which they showed Pete Alexander winning the WS with a strikeout when actually the series ended when Babe Ruth was thrown out trying to steal second.
It ain't no doubt, me and Paul, we really liked this movie and the pitchin were't none bad either...and Pat was great! I've been talkin to Dizzy and I really like him...he's from Lucas Arkansas...God's country. Ain't none better...
Thank you for sharing this movie I remembered seeing it when I was a boy, Better than I remembered,,Do you have Chicken every Sunday would love to see it ??? Robert
Chet Huntley is in this movie as a radio announcer (near the end of the film). 😉 I remember finding a can of "Ole Diz" charcoal lighter fluid once. It had a picture of Dizzy on the label and a caption that said "Pardners, you'll like it!"
Being born and raised in the St Louis area this movie really touches home for me. although it may not be factually on point it still gives a great depiction of Dizzy. I had the honor of meeting him in the mid 60's. I don't think I washed my hand he shook for a week. who was your father in law playing in the movie?
The gambling punks who rob Dizzy at table call him a “has been”. Well. A ‘has been’ is a million times better than the ‘never was’ & ‘never will be’ which is what inspires all uninspired people to hate & name call from the guts of empty (of all but dirt) souls.
Spot on Mark. Back then people thought you had to work or dissipate, but now we know about exercise, healthy diet (organic), and meditation. So, there's no excuse for not being a 'still is' anymore. Unfortunately, negative-naysayers are still in the majority, and most people just let themselves go, looking back on their youth as the high point in their lives. If you want to stay young, you have to work at it!
.....USED TO LOVE OLD DIZ AND HIS COUNTRIFIED ENGLISH.... REMEMBERING HIS COLOR COMMENTAARY IN THE OLD DAYS REFERENCING....WHEN PEEWEE SLUDD INTO FIRST BASE.....NO ALCHOHOL AND TOBACCO....WHATTA MAN AND SON OF THE SOUTH!
yeah his calling of games is what got me interested in baseball back in the day and a life long Cardinal fan to boot...although the Braves come in a close 2nd
Ive got a friend of mine i went to school with back back way back in the day. We're both 60 now time sure does fly. But speaking of my friend..... He once told me he cant watch anything on TV if its not in color. And to this day he still will only watch color. I tried to tell him, you dont know what you are missing Gary. Some of the very best of all movies ever made are in black and white. I conclude, I guess you just have to let people be who they are.
I know what you mean. This guy I work with, is quite a bit younger than I am, and he won't watch anything in B & W either. Nor anything with cowboy hats in it. I keep telling him, you are missing a lot of great old movies and TV Shows.
I teach 4th grade and we were discussing how we could celebrate White History Month. I think I will have them watch this for extra credit. This is an excellent movie.
Have you seen "Fear Strikes Out" (The Jimmy Piersall story)? About Red Sox player who went nuts. He missed the end of the '52 season, but returned to play in '53. The movie starred Anthony Perkins.
Not quite. Dizzy won 30 games in one season only, 1934. Daffy won most 19 games in a season, twice. One of them being 1934. Thus, Dizzy and Daffy combined for 49 regular season wins in 1934, 4 more than the 45 they predicted. They also each won 2 games in World Series, for a total of 4 more wins. Despite all that, Dizzy only won WS once, in 1934.
Pride comes before a fall; and a haughty spirit before a stumble. When I was a child I thought as a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child; but when I became a MAN, i PUT AWAY childish things.

The team owner made a big mistake trading Steve Carlton away.
@@frankramirez8618 I agree. I read it was a salary dispute over something like $10,000 which of course was more money at that time.

I am not concerned with the absolute facts of this movie, it was simply enchanting with a marvelous, intelligent script.
And that's why he is my favorite pitcher of all times!
I love this movie so much!

Jo Ann Dru was so Beautiful Looking, Of an Actress & a Woman, Sadly she passed away in 1992 @ age 72 from an Illness may she RIP.
Good show from start to finish and Dan Dailey carried it well...
One of my favorites of all time
He once said of Babe Ruth home run, it leaves his bat like a homing pigeon, for a second it slows down then gets its bearings and heads for the seats.

NO CGI back then that looked pretty real
The gambling punks who rob Dizzy at table call him a “has been”. Well.
A ‘has been’ is a million times better than the ‘never was’ & ‘never will be’ which is what inspires all uninspired people to hate & name call from the guts of empty (of all but dirt) souls.

When I was a child I thought as a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child; but when I became a MAN, i PUT AWAY childish things.

You're welcome
the BEST way to escape the madness of the covid nightmare world we've ALL been thrown into for a couple of hours... is to be watching THIS movie.. and any other great old movies of this kind .. to slip into a past time when things were NOT what they have become over the decades.. and UA-cam is the "time machine" that can be used to escape the present surreal madness.
Thanks
