On this day in 1948, ALLIED ARTIST’S PICTURES released THE BABE RUTH STORY. Directed by ROY del RUTH, this corniest of all corny biopics starred WILLIAM BEXDIX, CLAIRE TREVOR, CHARLES BICKFORD, SAM LEVENE and BILL FRAWLEY. Certainly in the top ten of sanitized, homoginized filmed biographies, we would be remiss in not mentioning that we absolutely loved it when we were kids. A must see for all the wrong reasons.
