FEAR STRIKES OUT, 1957
Movie Reviews
Director: Robert Mulligan
Stars: Anthony Perkins, Karl Malden, Norma Moore
SYNOPSIS:
True story of the life of Jimmy Piersall, who battled mental illness to achieve stardom in major league baseball.
Here’s what the critics have to say:
Fear holds up well, and the climactic showdown between father and son offers a tremendously appealing resolution.
Fear Strikes Out rolls Frank Merriwell and Sigmund Freud into a ball and then lines it out for a solid hit.
Anthony Perkins, in the young Piersall role, delivers a remarkably sustained performance of a sensitive young man, pushed too fast to the limits of his ability to cope with life’s pressures.
