An extremely sympathetic portrait of the legendary "Babe" which follows him from his troubled childhood to his last heroic day. Bendix portrays the fictional Bambino, recreating the most memorable highlights of his life. Intermingled with these are actual clips of Ruth in action, adding a documentary feel to the picture. Most agree that here is where the film is at its most successful.
