"The Natural"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Robert Redford heads up a superb cast in this baseball as myth story, based on a novel by Bernard Malamud, which in turn is based on an Arthutian legend. Featured are Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Barbara Hershey, Willard Brimley, and Richard Fanbsworth, among others. Redford is a natural talent who is injured and off the scene for 16 years, when he returns to the big leaguesand tries to make a comvback. The last part of the film was shot in the old War Memorial Stadium iin Buffalo, affectionately kinown there as "The Rockpile". The cinematography is purposely soft, to effect a nostalgic look at the game in the early part of the 20th century. Worth a look see.
