This was no composition by a performing monkey.' Hint

To squint into a sky so blue it hurts your eyes just to look at it; to feel the tingle in your arms when you hit the ball dead-on; to run the bases, to stretch a double into a triple and flop face-first into third and wrap your arm around the base.

This was the complete closing argument of the prosecutor to the jury in the criminal fraud trial in this thought-provoking movie.

Danny Kaye is wonderful in this movie.
20. 'When Chekhov saw the coming winter, he saw a winter cold and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know today that winter is yet just another step in the cycle of life.
