Women�s Baseball: Truly A League of Their Own
One of the greatest movies in American history portraying women's sports is A League of Their Own. While it never really caught the public's attention, the movie evoked both favorable and unfavorable reactions. The director, Penny Marshall, focused on material that dealt with women and women's issues which was considered long overdue. She gave the viewers a highly professional and extremely likable film about an incredible group of women athletes. The film was historically accurate in its portrayal of American culture in the 40's; it was enjoyable for all ages and sexes; and it had an infamous lead and supporting cast. Not only did Marshall capture the entertaining baseball sequences, she paid attention to the character-developing scenes. All these criteria made A League of Their Own a quality historical film.
