This huge framed movie poster (50 x 66") advertises the film "The Pride of the Yankees" in French. The movie was released in America in 1942. It won an Oscar for film editing, and was nominated for 10 more, including best actor (Gary Cooper) in a leading role and best picture. The movie was released the year after Lou Gehrig passed away, and starred Gary Cooper as Gehrig, Teresa Wright as Gehrig's wife Eleanor, and Walter Brennan as a sportswriter friend. Yankee teammates Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Mark Koenig and Bill Dickey played themselves, as did sportscaster Bill Stern. Perfect for a baseball and/or movie buff.
