That movie has some unintentionally funny scenes, such as when Bendix orders a glass of milk (!) when he enters a bar. My personal favorite, "Sue baseball?"

Let's also not forget that truly awful "Safe At Home" where Mantle and Maris tried acting. Their bats had more personality than they did in that flick.

Oh no way!

Possibly the greatest unintentionally hysterical movie of all time!

Dumpy old Bendix plays the Babe all the way back in the orphanage for godsakes! He makes a cripple kid walk merely by laying his hands on him! He donates his still-living body for science experiments that one day may save others!

The funniest thing about that movie is that in the movie, the Babe dies his noble death so others might live. But when it was released, Babe Ruth was still alive! He went to the premiere!

I just LOVE everything about that movie.
