The First of May (1999)
A wonderful, heartwarming family film

I first saw The First of May a few years ago with my family and we all were thoroughly pleased. Julie Harris gives a wonderful performance as the lovable Carlotta and Dan Byrd is fantastic in his first film!
Mickey Rooney may not be the greatest actor in the world (and I hear he smelled like tuna fish on set) but he certainly seemed to deliver in this film.
This film also features the final screen appearance of Joe DiMaggio, a true baseball legend.
The story is fun and touching, the cast is fantastic, and I have a feeling that kid who played the catcher will go on to do great things in the future!
I really hope this film comes to DVD soon! I'll be the first in line to buy it and share it with others!
