The baseball tale starring Robert Redford as the aging Roy Hobbs was released on May 11, but feels as old as the s team it revolves around. Based on Bernard Malamud's baseball novel of the same name, it was nominated for four Oscars, including best supporting actress for Glenn Close. The Natural gets an 81 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes , showing that eviews of the movie were mixed. Famed critic Roger Ebert wasn't one of its believers, giving The Natural only two stars.
The Onion's AV Club , which reviewed a newer director's cut, had similar contempt. Why is Redford and Close's romantic past such a mystery? And most importantly, what makes this golden-fleeced dullard tick? At the center of the movie, Redford comes off as a total blank, exercising so little control over his destiny that it's a wonder his bat even needs him to swing it. I still love The Natural. Angell added that Redford plays so authentically, "you want to sign him up".

This is for Rich Products which is in Buffalo, where this was filmed. The owner of Rich Products is Robert Rich, who owned the minor league team whose stadium was used as the Knights stadium.
This movie may also have been inspired by the story of Alex "Red" McColl, a pitcher who made his Major League debut at the end of the season with the Washington Senators at the age of thirty-nine. He'd retired eleven years earlier after a lengthy career in the minors. He started four games in and pitched the next season before retiring, with a lifetime record of Some film critics noted that, unlike most Hollywood actors who have appeared as baseball players through the years, Robert Redford actually looked the part.
This was the second film released by TriStar Pictures. It was supposed to be the first, but TriStar executives felt that baseball movies don't do well. Director Barry Levinson said this during an appearance on Costas at the Movies The newsreel announcer's name is Ed Krichinsky.

In the film, Roy tells Iris during the walk that after he was shot, he spent two years in the hospital. He finally decided to try baseball again after 16 years. At the end of the game, with a chance to win it, Hobbs, now trying to win, comes to bat against Herman Youngberry, a brilliant young pitcher similar to Hobbs at the same age.
Youngberry strikes out Hobbs, ending the game and the season for the Knights. The Hollywood legend is married to his year-old Saltean wife named Luciana, whom he met outside a bakery shop when he was in Argentina.
