Description

Baseball: The Movie explores the enduring appeal of films about America's national pastime. Writer and critic Noah Gittell delves into both well-known classics and lesser-known gems, examining how baseball cinema reflects and redefines the American ideal. Through a thorough examination of history and mythmaking, cynicism and nostalgia, this book offers a multifaceted tour of baseball on film. By tracing the evolution of the genre from its birth in 1915 to the present day, Gittell sheds light on the ways in which baseball movies continue to captivate audiences. A rich and engaging study of a fascinating subject, Baseball: The Movie is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of sports, film, and American culture.
