I love this story, and Jimmy Stewart along with June Allyson are, in my opinion superb. Great supporting cast! The type of movie, that I go back to and watch again and again. Gets the point across without a lot of foul language!
Though it isn't true to fact. I recently discovered, after having watched this movie many times, that he is a cousin to my mother in law.
Mom says Monty had to crawl home after accidentally shooting himself in the leg. Subsequently having to have it amputated above the knee.
He was a pretty nice guy, according to her and they spent time together as kids and young adults. After adulthood, they drifted apart.
If you are a baseball fan and love Jimmy Stewart as I did and want a clean movie to share with your family, then by all means...this one is a keeper.
