Gary Cooper's outstanding portrayal of Lou Gehrig allowed for "The Pride of the Yankees" to remain one of the best sports/drama films of the 20th century. It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Gary Cooper), and Best Actress (Teresa Wright) in the 1942 Academy Awards. Director Sam Wood's film, which included cameos from Babe Ruth and Bill Dickey, is a classic amongst Yankee fans and baseball fans alike. This 27" x 41" linen-backed one sheet grades VF-NM and is a 1949 reissue of the original.
