Sharp and wittily written comedy, which successfully deals with the somewhat outlandish premise (which would later become a staple of Disney films of the 60s) by treating it very casually, seriously and unobtrusively - helped by an always wonderful Milland, who never plays down to or patronises the material.

The casting is terrible; the ballplayers are all old men that don't look like they could run the bases. The relationship between the professor and his young student is creepy.

Guess it was alright for a base-screw-ball comedy. Feels like something Disney would have made in in the 60s or 70s, but without the full family movie feel of one. I might have enjoyed it more had I liked baseball.
