Synopsis: Damn Yankees (1958)

An exciting mix of rough-and-tumble baseball with lively song-and-dance numbers makes this musical a home run. When middle-aged Joe, number one Washington Senators fan, gets a deal from the devil and is transformed into a hotshot rookie baseball player, the Senators have their first real chance to beat the Yankees and capture the pennant. But the devil's secret agenda...
An exciting mix of rough-and-tumble baseball with lively song-and-dance numbers makes this musical a home run. When middle-aged Joe, number one Washington Senators fan, gets a deal from the devil and is transformed into a hotshot rookie baseball player, the Senators have their first real chance to beat the Yankees and capture the pennant. But the devil's secret agenda is to pull the rug out from under the fans' feet just before the Senators win, hopefully sparking massive depression. Joe's yearning for his wife throws a wrench into the devil's devious works, encouraging the devil to call in Lola, the best vamp in his staff. Joe and Lola warily dance around each other, he fascinated by her physical charms, she mesmerized by his honest goodness. With so much pressure on him, can Joe hold it together long enough to beat those damn Yankees, win the pennant for the Senators...and keep his soul?

    Damn Yankees -- not just a rock group

    By Al  Feb 26, 2004 | 1 out of 1 found this Damn Yankees (1958) review helpful

    Pros: One of the best of its genre

    Cons: Not on DVD?? Why??

    The synopsis doesn't give this film the credit it deserves. It's coreographed by Bob Fosse -- arguably one of the greatest coreographers that ever lived and starred his then wife, Gwen Verdon.Tab Hunter outdoes himself as "Shoeless Joe J...ackson" from Hannibal, Missouri, playing the young version of an old, frustrated St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan who despises the NY Yankees (join the club). Selling his soul to the devil, he ends up with the Washington Senators (yes, there was a major league club by that name in the 40's & 50's) who beat the Yankees out of another shot at the World Series -- but that's not really the story.It's about how far one will go morally to be a winner. The result is a fable of realizing that one's not as bad off as they seem, in spite of who they root for in baseball (Cub fans, take heart).It's a wonderful film, filled with great music, fantastic dancing (my personal favorite is "Two Lost Souls" featuring Tab & Gwen in a sleazy, colorful nightclub) and a cast of unforgettable characters. Why this film has been ignored for so long is beyond me. It took forever to come out on VHS back in the 80's and now it's still not on DVD. What the hell is Warner Brothers thinking? Probably the same as they do regarding their horrid record of releasing vintage music CD's. Someone at WB needs to wake up and smell the coffee.RELEASE "DAMN YANKEES" ON DVD sometime this century!!!
