Featured review
A Serious Film, And The Indians Too!
Cleveland Indians radio color commentator George Brent discovers Russ Tamblyn (in his first movie role) hiding out in the stadium. He says he's an orphan from Chicago who wants to see the game, so the team members agree he can come ack, and Brent takes him home to wife Lynn Bari and their two daughters. It comes out that Tamblyn isn't from Chicago, but Cleveland, and his mother Ann Doran and stepfather, Louis Jean Heydt.
Looking at the 1948 World Champion Indians is a bonus here, and enough to extend the movie into first-feature length. It's a story about a troubled boy, and well-meaning adults who are at the end of their tethers. For the era, it's quite frank, with Miss Bari mentioning casually that she cannot have any more children, and Heydt getting to show some range. Amidst this story, you get shots of the 1949 Indians on the field and off.
