Description:
Using never-before-seen footage and rare archival materials, this documentary about one of the most-beloved figures in baseball tells of Joe DiMaggio's early life in San Francisco, and of his entrance into the New York Yankees organization in 1936 at the tender age of 21. The familiar facts are covered (though it is always nice to see them again): his 56-game hitting streak, the nine World Series championships he helped attain, and his thrice-earned MVP status. DiMaggio's personal life is tastefully handled, too, including his bachelor years and his two marriages, the second a famous union to Marilyn Monroe. Drawing upon interviews with Bob Feller, Reggie Jackson, Pete Rose, George Bush, Mario Cuomo, and DiMaggio's teammates Jerry Coleman, Phil Rizzuto, and Tommy Henrich, the film creates a portrait of a hero who knew both greatness and tragedy on his path. An exciting homage, all around, and now that's he gone an important marker of American life in the 20th century. --Tom Keogh
