“Field of Dreams” is a sports fantasy film that in time has taken on something of a legendary baseball status. It inspired construction of a baseball diamond at the film’s location shoot in Dyersville, Iowa, where a major league game between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees was played in 2021. It promises to be an annual event.
“Field of Dreams” has the feel of a 1930’s or 1940’s motion picture, tastefully directed and written by Phil Alden Robinson (“The Sum of All Fears” 2002), adapted from the 1982 novel “Shoeless Joe” by W.P. Kinsella.
The tremendously talented cast includes Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, Gaby Hoffman, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta, Timothy Busfield, and Burt Lancaster and Anne Seymour in their final film roles.
“Field of Dreams” was a financial success for Universal Pictures. The watchable movie was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Picture (Lawrence Gordon and Charles Gordon – “Die Hard” 1988). The Best Picture winner was “Driving MIss Daisy.”
