TCM Greatest Classic Films: Legends - Ronald Reagan (4FE)

KNUTE ROCKNE ALL AMERICAN (1940) - Pat O'Brien is coach Knute Rockne, who revolutionizes football, winning close to 90 percent of his games, and who wants to shape his players into honorable men. Ronald Reagan plays doomed halfback George Gipp, delivering his famous plea: "win one just for the Gipper."
KINGS ROW (1942) - The peaceful exterior of a quaint, small town conceals human lives twisted by cruelty, murder and madness. Reagan's portrayal of Drake, a cheerful ne'er-do-well shattered by tragedy, has been hailed as his career best in this powerful saga of dreams, despair and triumph.
STORM WARNING (1951) - Marsha Mitchell (Ginger Rogers) witnesses a Ku Klux Klan murder, then recognizes her sister Lucy's (Doris Day) brutish new husband as one of the killers. She could leave town...or be the one brave enough to bring the Klan to justice. Reagan costars as a crusading D.A.
THE WINNING TEAM (1952) - Reagan is Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander, who suffers from double vision and fainting spells and sees his career bottom out. But helped by his wife (Doris Day), he makes a successful return that reaches its peak in the 1926 World Series.
