Cheating? Who's cheating? When an egghead chemistry professor (Ray Milland) stumbles upon a formula for making baseballs resistant to the touch of wood, he sneaks a little onto a pitcher's glove and for a time has a career throwing from a major league mound. Set aside ethical concerns: this light comedy is in an Absent-Minded Professor mold, with balls clownishly, impossibly dancing around the swing of batters. (Besides that, the climax requires an act of minor heroism on the prof's part when the magic suddenly isn't there.) Directed by Lloyd Bacon (42nd Street), the movie is a lot of fun for all ages and proves that you can make kids hysterical with silly action without wrapping a stupid, crude story around it. With Ed Begley, Alan Hale Jr., and Paul Douglas. --Tom Keogh

A must see if you are a baseball fan or a fan of comedy and wonderful endings. The only thing that would make it better is if it were on DVD.

One of my favorite films as a kid. I have been searching for it on NetFlix and DVD for years. Amazon, use your clout and lobby for a DVD, please!

Well, it did`nt happen this spring, at least on DVD. Maybe next spring, as most fans say in October, theres always next year. Hope springs eternal. "Angles in the Outfield", "Kill the Umpire", why not this one?

This is a great, classic movie. Everyone should see it at least once. Certainly, baseball fans should see it.
