This Weekend in 1942, ‘Pride of the Yankees‘ was directed by Sam Wood, and starring Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright, Walter Brennan, Dan Duryea and Babe Ruth. It received 11 Academy Award nominations. Gehrig died on June 2, 1941. The film premiered on July 14, 1942 in New York City at the Astor Theatre, and was shown for one night only at “forty neighborhood theatres.” Preceding the film was the premiere of an animated short called “How to Play Baseball,” produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios at Samuel Goldwyn’s request, the producer of the film. The Pride of the Yankees was the 7th-highest grossing film of 1942, with $8.08 million in box office receipts. Despite its wide popularity, RKO took a loss of $213,000 on the film due to the small distribution fee that Samuel Goldwyn had negotiated with the studio. All of Goldwyn’s pictures produced a loss for RKO no matter how much money they took in; but the studio considered the arrangement acceptable, because its association with Goldwyn lent prestige to RKO, and enhanced sales of its own movies.
This weekend in 1942, ‘Sleepy Lagoon‘ Harry James and His Orchestra. The James recording was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 36549. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on 17 April 1942 and lasted 18 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 1.
