The legendary Babe Ruth stars, essentially, as himself in this baseball drama about a small town boy that makes it big in the major leagues. Despite an initial rough patch with the game, he soon produces remarkable results at the plate. Home runs lead to fame and fortune, of course, but will success change him?
An early baseball-themed feature, THE BUSHER is a delightful "dramedy" featuring silent cinema legends Charles Ray, Colleen Moore and John Gilbert.
Babe Ruth plays a bumbling, shy version of himself in this comedy about his character's uprising to stardom. The best parts of some of the title cards that are long in silliness and similes. A few of them had me scratching my head a little, but this was all in fun. Play ball.
