A love letter to one of America's favorite sports movie. No Crying in Baseball is primarily about the chaos of filming A League of Their Own and secondarily about director, Penny Marshall's life. Richly detailed; this book talks about the long shooting days, who was originally cast, who was cut, drama at the studios, Madonna's shenanigans, Tom Hank's antics and so much more. It's like watching an extended behind the scenes documentary or watching a commentary over the movie. It's fascinating and filled with so many tidbits that it will make you want to watch the movie again, because how could you have overlooked that in the ten million times you've watched the movie before?! Fans of the movie, Penny Marshall, and those who love to look behind the curtain will eat this book up.
