The Stratton Story (DVD, 2006)

About this product

Product Information

Director Sam Wood's final film presents the real-life story of courageous sports hero Monty Stratton. Jimmy Stewart presents a career-defining performance as the young Chicago White Sox pitcher who loses a leg in a tragic hunting accident. Depressed, Stratton at first refuses to walk with his new artificial limb, but under the encouragement of his wife, Ethel (June Allyson), he relearns to walk just as his young son takes his own first steps. With courage and determination, Stratton builds his strength and returns to the sport at which he excelled, becoming a minor league star. This uplifting story avoids becoming maudlin by virtue of Wood's excellent directing, a truly beautiful performance from Jimmy Stewart, an Academy Award-winning script from Douglas Morrow and Guy Trosper, and the very real chemistry between Stewart and actress Allyson.

  • The Stratton Story

    Warm, engaging story. James Stewart is very believable and so is June Allyson. Frank Morgan in one of his best roles: fresh and not stereotyped!

  • Overcoming all Odds and pursuing one's passion.

    Delightful TRUE Story of Stratton. If you want an uplifting story about overcoming difficult odds, this this story is for you. It is combined with a love story that is equally delightful. Jimmy Stewart and June Alison are wonderful as is Jimmy's mother in the movie. The time flew by as I watched this movie.
