The Lou Gehrig Story

This is not "The Pride of the Yankees," the 1942 silver screen Gehrig biopic for which Gary Cooper (Gehrig) and Teresa Wright (Eleanor Gehrig) picked up Oscar nominations. But it is a very good treatment of the end of Gehrig's career and life. This live teleplay, part of the Climax! series that ran on CBS from 1954 to 1958, stars Harry Carry Jr., the great Western actor, as Bill Dickey; Wendell Corey as Gehrig; and Russell ("The Professor") Johnson as the young fireballer "Rusty."

An hour of drama. A lifetime of memories.
