A League of Their Own (1992 Penny Marshall)

Remember Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel? ("See how it works is the train moves, not the station.") Marshall and editor George Bowers inject terrific energy into baseball scenes and dance routine (expertly choreographed). Story of women's baseball league during WW2 is good, generally. Geena Davis steals the film. With Tom Hanks, Lori Petty, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, David Strathairn, Bill Pullman, Garry Marshall. Oh yeah, Jon Lovitz stole the film first as ultra sarcastic talent scout - he doesn't seem to have had much of an impact.

Shot by Miroslav Ondricek.

Has a rather over-sugared ending.
