Even by Broadway musical standards this one’s a little odd: a musical comedy about a guy who sells his soul to Satan for a chance to help the Washington Senators (first in war, first in peace, last in the American league) beat the Yankees and go to the post-season. The movie spills over with sexism, excessive choreography and plain ol’ strangeness. On the other hand, some of the songs are memorable classics, and even the peculiar moments have their unique entertainment value. It’s not exactly a baseball movie, but in the cold months during the off-season, this isn’t a bad port in a storm. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
