Big Leaguer is a 1953 American sports drama film starring Edward G. Robinson and was the first film directed by Robert Aldrich.
Although this story is fiction, Robinson's character in it, Hans Lobert, was an actual baseball player who played for five Major League Baseball teams and managed the Philadelphia Phillies. Third-billed in the cast, Jeff Richards was a professional ballplayer before he became an actor, and Hall of Fame pitcher Carl Hubbell appears as himself.
"It was... not a personal film of my status at the time, " said Aldrich later. "I feel the film was good but not indicative of what I wanted to express in the motion picture medium.
This is an excellent condition print mounted on 2 x 1600' reels and printed on KODAK b/w film stock. Please see photos above for image representation. Print has leaders and countdowns.
This print was tested with an AD strip for Vinegar Syndrome. Please see the results above. No VS odors or warping issues detected.
