Cecilia, 1930'ların ekonomik kriz dönemi Amerikası'nda, çok az para için ölümüne çalışan, işe yaramaz kocası tarafından sürekli taciz edilen mutsuz bir garsondur. Tek kaçışı, tutku derecesinde sevdiği sinemadır. Kahire'nin Mor Gülü isimli filmse favorisidir. Defalarca gittiği filmde bir gün baş karakter Tom Baxter perdeden inip gerçek hayata karışır. Üstelik Cecilia'ya aşık olur! * Woody Allen'ın en sevdiği eseri olduğunu itiraf ettiği bu film, büyük ustanın hem komik ve fantastik hem de gerçekçi yapımlarını adeta tek potada eritiyor. Kritiklerin de Allen'ın görüşünü paylaştığını söylememize gerek yok * Bu film Woody Allen'ın sinemaya ve sinemaseverlere armağan niteliğindeki eseridir bence. Çok keyifli, konusuyla farklı, derinlerinde sakladığı hüznüyle iç acıtan bir film, kesinlikle kaçırılmamalı.

In this third entry of the ongoing HBO documentary series celebrating America's favorite pastime, the focus is on the 1960s, when Major League Baseball was slowly evolving from pure sport to big-bucks entertainment. Using footage of players and fans, the film covers the Yankees' ascension to greatness, the western expansion of both leagues, the increasing inclusion of black players and the rise of free agency.

The Indians and Yankees, both in a tight race with the White Sox, met at the Polo Grounds on August 16th, 1920. In the fifth inning, Carl Mays threw one of his "submarine" pitches that hit Ray Chapman in the head. Chapman collapsed at the plate. He was rushed to the hospital and died the next day, the only Major League Baseball player ever to be killed in a game. Grief tore through Cleveland and the pivotal moment led to an explosion on and off the field. The Indians, sparked by the addition of young shortstop Joe Sewell, recovered in time to win their first World Series Title. What resulted was a rivalry that would last 100 years.
