No Place Like Movies at Home: Take Me Out To The Ball Game

America's favorite pastime is the subject of our next major motion picture! It is another great film from 1949 Take Me Out To The Ball Game.


Sinatra, Kelly, and Mushin once again meet on the screen to celebrate the best sport in the world, Baseball! Kelly and Sinatra are not only on same professional baseball team, the Wolves, but they are also a due on the vaudeville circuit. The few months that they get off during baseball season they tour together as a singing duo. However, Kelly is a wild soul who longs to break the rules when it comes to the baseball club. There is a curve ball thrown into his plans as he comes back to the spring season. there is a new owner of the club. They also want to come down and travel with the team to see how they work. The curve ball? The new owner is a woman, the lovely Ester Williams. The movie also brings back the always funny Betty Garrett, who is yet again in love with Mir. Sinatra (I mean who isn't). 

This has to be one of my favorite movie scores. I only discovered that when watching it this time around. Every song was wonderful, and fun. Every song was perfectly placed, and I would love the have the record for this movie. This is one that I think I need to give more love in the future. I always remember One The Town and Anchor's Away but this one I seem to forget. 

It did also help with my baseball blues. No baseball during this time has been hard. I really can't wait till that starts again. I guess that watching movies will have to do.
