Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Babe (DVD)
Advantages: Entertaining and educational Disadvantages: A bit one sided
wildest dreams, his wayward nature spirals out of control as he gets to big for his boots and causes the collapse of his first marriage.
Without spoiling the film for anyone who does not know the Babe Ruth story, the rest of the film follows his career and the ups and downs on and off the field.

One day, however, he unwillingly causes a farming accident that cripples his owner, Hoggett, the equally loveable farmer, and the tragedy leaves Hoggett's naive wife to run their farm. With bills piling up, she accepts an invitation to ...
