A League of Their Own hits 4k Disc
Penny Marshall’s baseball classic, A League of Their Own, is acquiring a snazzy 4K disc from Sony this fall.
As a kid developing up in the nineties, a film that often got a ton of play in my household was Penny Marshall’s A League of Their Own. I have fond memories of seeing it in theaters as a ten-year-old in the summer season of 1992 (I wanted to go see Batman Returns, but it was my sister’s turn to choose the film), and it is a film I only revisit from time to time. So, I’m fairly delighted to hear that my subsequent revisit will be in glorious 4K, with Sony revealing that the movie’s coming out on 4K disc this September, with a completely loaded unique edition.
For these who could not try to remember the film, it is primarily based on the genuine-life All-American Girls Baseball League, which sprung up in the course of World War II, as most male players have been overseas fighting the war. In the film, Geena Davis (in an iconic functionality) plays Dottie Hinson, who, along with her sister Kit (Lori Petty), becomes a star player for the Rockford Peaches. Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna (in one particular of her improved performances) play fellow players, and Tom Hanks shines as their alcoholic (but in the end supportive) coach, who gets the iconic line, “There’s no crying in baseball!”.
The film was a smash hit in 1992, producing more than $100 million domestically, with it spawning two quick-lived Television spin-offs, the most recent getting a effectively-reviewed version for Prime Video that lots of assume was cancelled also early.
Here are the specs for the disc, which comes out September 3rd.
