Synopsis

While all the American men are fighting against the nazis in WW II, the American baseball league decides to keep the professional league running with women teams. Dottie (Geena Davis) and Kit (Lori Petty) are among the women, who are discovered by a scout and given a chance to escape their dull life as a housewife. The Chicago Peaches soon learn that they're not taken very serious, not even by their coach Jimmy (Tom Hanks). Until they show the men they sure know how to play ball. Not only do the
women get respect and success, they also learn about teamplay and friendship.
                                                 Madonna 1992 - 'A league of Their Own' Documentary

Rating

The plot, based on the true story of the first American Girl Baseball League, is original, funny and touching. With big names like Hanks and Davis, it's no wonder that there's some great acting too. Madonna does it a pretty good job as well, playing the role of Mae, a former dancer and a born men hunter. The character fits Madonna very well and has a striking resemblance with other movie roles, like Susan (Desperately Seeking Susan) and even Evita. Best part of the role was her dancing in a bar; Madonna is still a dancer in the first place. 8/10

 Trivia

 Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell, best pals on the set Mae and Doris, became real-life best friends. It was O'Donnell who shot the cover of the Drowned World Tour video, 9 years after this movie.

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy  publishes nude photos of  Madonna  taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star,  Playboy  publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner  Vanessa Williams , which their rival  Penthouse  published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,&q
