See this film: Safe at Home! @ South Boston Branch Library
Even the most
hardcore Red Sox fan might feel a little begrudging affection for the pinstripes
after watching Safe At Home! (1962). Of course, it helps that it
takes place almost half a century ago, when Yankees Mickey Mantle and Roger
Maris were vying to break the Babe's single season home run record. The two
sluggers star in this heartwarming drama about a Little League team that dreams
of seeing them in person, and though the ballplayers were wise not to leave the
diamond for the big screen, director Walter Doniger does touch on sentiments
that both Boston and New York fans can appreciate. It screens at
the South Boston Branch Library, 646 East Broadway, Boston | free | Tuesday, August 23 @ 1 pm | 617.268.0180.
