Title: Kevin Costner Was Right
Review: Kevin Costner was right. He fought bitterly with Universal to release the original cut of the movie, but lost to bean counters that were afraid of an overlong movie. I just saw the DVD and the deleted scenes, that can finally be seen, make for a much more complicated and moving story. Particularly the subplot with his coach's wife's struggle with cancer and when his friend on the Yankees came in to congratulate him and say goodbye. Those were the scenes that made these characters real and took down the wall of "just baseball" and made it a satisfying drama. "For Love of the Game" is a fine film that will hopefully be seen from now on with these important scenes included.
