Columbo-3's rating
The Story holds pretty true to the book (The Valley of Fear), especially the flashback segment. Wontner and Fleming have excellent chemistry as Holmes and Watson, and Harding is a great Moriarty. The only drawbacks to the film, are the claustrophobic sets, and the silent movie style of direction.
While the previous Major League movies dealt with a team of incompetent players, Back to the Minors deals with a group of hard-headed players re-learning the fundamentals, and in some cases using their shortcomings to the teams advantage(i.e. Doc's 35 MPH fastball). While some baseball movies focus on Home Run hitting, this is the first baseball movie where I can remember a "pull hitter" being mentioned.
