Elmer the Great

The best-loved of Joe E. Brown's baseball vehicles casts the comic as the cocky country-boy phenom plucked from the sticks by the Chicago Cubs in order to land them a pennant, but who might have to hit the showers once big-city fixers get their claws into him. Rousing take on the George M. Cohan-Ring Lardner stage hit also stars Patricia Ellis, Frank McHugh, Preston Foster, Sterling Holloway. 73 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
