    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The actual ball hit by Bill Mazeroski was found by a 14-year-old boy named Andy Jerpe, who subsequently lost it when his buddies talked him into using it for a sandlot game, and it was hit into some tall grass and never found.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the movie when the boy catches the Mazeroski home run that won the 1960 World Series, it was a Rawlings baseball. Rawlings did not begin supplying baseballs to the major leagues until around 1970. The home run ball would have been a Spalding baseball in 1960.
    • Quotes

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: [referring to her dead husband's business dealings] ... and what kind of business would that be, Herr Buchner?

      Herr Bruchner, EDK Executive: Why... ink.

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: Ink?

      Herr Bruchner, EDK Executive: [firmly] Ink. We make ink for ballpoint pens.

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: Thats all? Just ink?

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: [after Bruchner makes a shrugging motion with his hands] 34,000 marks - 25,000 marks, and look - look here's another one for fifteen.

      Herr Bruchner, EDK Executive: Ink, Frau Miller... ink is the true life blood of a civilization.

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: Good point.

    5/10
    If it's Wednesday, this must be Cairo!
    This film is pretty to watch, but it adds nothing new to the genre; the plot is silly as there is almost no logic in what we are watching. From the opening scenes we know this film is something by the numbers because there is no real suspense; it fails to make sense about what we are watching.

    The only thing this movie has going is the different locales in which the director, and his crew, decided to take us: Veracruz, Berlin, Athens, Cairo. All in pursuit of the illusive Johnny Faro, the two timing man without scruples.

    The stars are wasted. Let's hope they had a good time while they were in location.
