It always blew my mind that they didn't actually "age them" but they found people that looked IDENTICAL to them if they were older. Geena Davis being played by Lynn Cartwright - they look so similar. Incredible casting!

Came here to say this! Literally no one was aged up; they just found the perfect different actors. Geena Davis has such a distinct voice, though, so the other actress was voiced-over to have Geena speaking the lines, but that's it.

3:20 Lynn Cartwright played the older Dottie. Geena Davis played the younger version. Lynn was cast because of her resemblance to Geena and their mannerisms were similar. No ageing prosthetic makeup. Two separate actresses. They dubbed Lynn with Geena's voice for the older Dottie scenes.

What do you mean it never gets brought up? It was a huge box office hit in the USA, got good reviews and is part of the cultural zeitgeist. "No crying in baseball" is one of the best known lines and it was Tom Hanks' first huge hit that started his run of great films. A League of Their Own is also preserved in the United States National Film Registry. It is not underrated at all. I swear people do not know what that word means.

What's amazing is that Debra Winger was cast as Dottie originally -- the actors all went through training camp together before filming began, and Winger trained with the Chicago Cubs for three months. But in the end, she felt that Madonna was more of a pop star than an actress and considered her casting to be a publicity stunt. Geena Davis was brought in at the last minute but it helps that she is a natural athlete and fit into the role perfectly. How good an athlete is Davis? During the 1996 Olympics she was inspired by the archery competition. She wanted to try it out, so in her late 30s (four years after this movie) she began training as an archer. She was good enough that, at age 41, she was invited to the US Olympic Trials, barely missing out on qualifying for the 2000 Olympic games.

Yes Gina Davis is a good athlete. As a long time coach of the game, I always find myself evaluating the actually on-film play. For a Hollywood movie it’s pretty good. You can tell they put a lot of effort into learning the game. I’d be willing to bet many of the women outside the main stars have played baseball extensively. Many of them look very comfortable and mechanically sound on the field. However, Modona and Gina Davis have terrible swings. Earlier in the movie they show Modona getting a hit to the fence. No way that swing puts a ball to the fence. Aside from those few small critiques I love this movie. The all American women’s baseball league was a part of American history and a part of baseball history that was important. I loved watching this movie with my mom especially. She grew up during this era. There are so many great lessons in this movie. One of the best is “if it wasn’t hard everyone would be doing it.” Great lesson. Also, as a coach I have been where Tom Hanks was when they are coming off the field and he’s very upset with one of the players for routinely missing her cutoff throws. I have lived that frustration for 33 years as a coach. And the scene where he’s taking a picture of Betty’s injured thigh is a classic. Whenever a kid has a nasty injury like that, the others always crowd around to get a better look at it. They think it’s cool.

As a millennial (guy) who’s a lifelong Dodger fan and played baseball for 15 years (through college), I absolutely love this movie. It certainly wasn’t my experience, but ALOTO captures the real community energy of watching pro baseball in a big stadium. The scenes when they were playing with full stadiums give me real joy. And having a kid sister also, I always cry at the ending when the sisters say goodbye & see each other as older siblings. The Amazon series is good too, but it’s a different vibe.

Great reaction! The age-old debate about Dottie dropping the ball on purpose. My opinion, was she didn't. Just wasn't her style, and she wouldn't do her team that way. She wanted her sister to earn it. You can see the "oh shit face" Dottie has when she sees Kit running at her. She wasn't expecting that. She got hit hard and dropped the ball. Kit earned it. But even thiough she lost, she was still of course happy for her sister. So in a way, it was a win-win for Dottie despite the loss.
@that.ll_do_pig
@that.ll_do_pig 7 күн бұрын
I agree. Some people use the fact that she held on to it previously as proof that she would never drop the ball with Kit but I think it's the opposite, it shows just how bad Kit wanted it and how hard Dottie was hit. They also say that because she's smiling watching Kit be happy with her victory, it's also proof it was intentional. I think that's a bit obtuse. Of course Dottie is going to smile and be happy for her sister earning her win after all the drama, even though it means her team didn't win. She's proud of her sister.

Dottie also had taken a very rough spill the batter before into their dugout onto concrete. She was clearly hurt by that. Having Kit shoulder her as hard as she could was enough to knock the ball out after that spill. Anyone that thinks bc she held onto it once before therefore she should always be able to has never played catcher for an extended period of time.

54:00 - It's in the dialogue at least twice that Kit likes the high ones and can't hit them: At the very first flashback scene, Kit is going to bat. Dottie says "No high ones." "I LIKE the high ones," Kit retorts. "Mule!" "Nag!" And then right at this point, Dottie says: "High fast ones, can't hit them, can't lay off them." It is in the dialogue. It's letting you know the situation. Dottie is not letting Kit off in the slightest: she is playing into Kit's weakness and setting up for her to fail. She is making Kit earn it, every bit of it, including needing to duck when she fires a ball straight at her. At 54:36 you can see Dottie definitely didn't expect this, or want it.

There is such a deep strong human aspect in this movie, because when you see a young impulsive person most people just see that, and when you see an older person the same, but most people dont realize that we all grow in more than one way between those 2 stages in life. This movie shows that in a very simple, emotional way that just hits my heart everytime I see this movie. The best movies about sports are the ones in which the sport itself is not the actual soul of the movie, but something we all as humans recognize in ourselves is.

They let Madonna stay in a fully furnished home with all the amenities and electronics, and when she left, she took everything with her.

Dottie's moment with her grandsons was prescient, as the movie showed that she learned her lesson of always trying to compete against Kit, and wanted her older grandson to take it easy so as give his brother a chance.

Is that foreshadowing that she dropped the ball on purpose? Dottie never intended to come back, but she knew if she was the one who got Kit out at home plate and their team lost, Kit would never let the grudge go... I think Dottie did it on purpose, to give her little sister a chance to be the hero...

My favorite line is when Marla's dad says, "Nothing is ever going to happen here. You have to go where things happen." What a perfect analogy of the spirit of the American dream.

This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies!!! Favorite comfort movie too!! The Famous movie line "There's NO CRYING in Baseball"!! is quoted all the time by me ... I do know that for the anniversary of the movie whenever it comes around most of the actors get together and have a charity baseball game ...... Ladies I would absolutely in your free time recommend watching the whole movie over w/ the Commentary playing in the background? it's hosted by Director "Penny Marshell" her daughter Tracy Reiner "Betty Spaghetti", Laurie Petty "Kit Keller", "Meghan Cavanaugh "Marla Hooch"... it's so fun to watch and you learn so much

About the ending where Dottie drops the ball. The question of whether or not she dropped it on purpose is left ambiguous on purpose I believe. That way it leaves it up to our interpretation.

The seine where John Levitz yelled at the cow to " Shut up " was because they kept trying to do the seine like 3 times and it kept mooing so John asked Penny Marshall what should i do? And Penny said " Tell him to shut up " jokingly and he really did it and they loved it.😂😂😂😂

My favorite part about the Marla recruitment, is that Dotty and Kit didn't even look at each other before setting their bags down. They each knew the right thing to do, regardless of what the other one thought or was going to do.

Penny Marshall was such an underrated filmmaker - this is arguably her finest hour. Fun and heartfelt with great cast and Hanks having a field day. Jon Lovitz is a quiet riot (I met him once in college for a film junket and he's surprisingly very low-key & humble which is a 180 from his usual bombastic characters). RE: Baseball films - I highly recommend you see THE NATURAL starring Robert Redford. Fun watch ladies (and the bare shoulders for you both - yes please *sigh*).
