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.

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.

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...

Rolling Stone - June 13, 1991 - Flesh and Fantasy - Big Time Girl Talk with Carrie Fisher

Madonna and I had met many times over the years, but we had never actually had a conversation. It took this interview to bring us together – she as icon, I as inquisitor of icon [after all, I have already distinguished myself as friend of icon, relative of icon and ex-wife of icon]. I had never done an interview before, and I don’t know that I will again. For me, this has all the makings of a waterloo. The first of the two sessions for this interview took place in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Madonna wore gold lame; I probably wore black. The last session took place in the offices of her manager, Freddy DeMann. Madonna wore a negligee; I probably wore black. I was late for that first meeting because a friend who had AIDS and who was staying with me had suddenly developed a fever. I called Madonna to say I was on my way. “You’re late,” she informed me. I explained about my friend. “Well, okay, that’s a good excuse,” she said. By the time of our fina...
