The Stratton Story (1949)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 3/09

3/09: The best part of The Stratton Story is the animals rejoicing in the fact that a hunter shot himself in the leg.

I've never heard of this ballplayer named Monty Stratton, and who cares about him?!? The baseball game he made his comeback in is mostly fictional. I looked up the internet for any information on him, and he didn't seem to be an interesting guy.

The only reason to see the film is James Stewart who does a marvelous job. June Allyson is okay. Either way, The Stratton Story is a boring film, often dragging a lot. It should be a five-minute short with Monty yelling out at the end, "Ohhhhhh, fuuuuuuuuck!" after being shot. What a funny scene it would've made.

All in all, nobody cares about Monty Stratton.
