MLB 141321

Before 1927 all movies were silent movies.
Al Jolson famously or infamously, in blackface, sang the song 'Mamie' to audiences in 1927 and changed the movie industry.

This league will highlight the 'talkie' movie era from 1927-2024.
Pick a favorite movie and use the name of that movie as your team name with your exclusive year.
The year that the movie was officially released will be your exclusive year. No one else can use players from that year, unless they are one of the following:

Use a player from the year the leading male star was born
Use a player from the year the leading lady was born
Use a year that the movies director was born
Use a year when the movies producer was born.

The rest of your team will be made up ONLY of players who are WIS eligible the year that your movie was officially released.

100 Million
No DH
No twists
No clones
No AAA
No trades
No WW
Random re-alignment
Use a stadium that was in use during your exclusive year.

To speed up the verification process I'll pick 13th. That way I can create a league

Courtney

Can the birth year of your stars be prior to 1927?

Sean Young wasn't technically a lady in that movie. ??????

She is a female leading character too. Sometimes it's a tie as to who lead. You could use either 1964 (Cox) or 1959 ( Young).

Whose next to pick their favorite movie?

Just to clarify, other than the 4 stars/director/producer years must your 21 other players come from the same year (i.e. the year the movie was released)?
Or, can the other 21 be twisted as long as they were WIS eligible in the year the movie was released?
Also, if your lead actor was also the director and producer of the movie, would you pick 3 players from his year of birth?

The other 21 come from the same year that the movie was released (no twists).
Yes if the lead actor is also the director and the producer you can use their birth year 3 times for 3 separate players.

'Reunion In France' - 1942
Lead Actor - John Wayne 1907
Lead Actress - Joan Crawford (see below)
Director - Jules Dassin 1911
Producer - Joseph Mankiewicz 1909

**I guess I'll need a ruling on what year to use for Joan Crawford. Here is what Wikipedia says: Crawford's year of birth is uncertain, as various sources claim 1904,^[1][2][3] 1905,^[4][5] 1906,^[6][7] and 1908.^[8][9] Crawford herself widely claimed 1908 (the date on her tombstone).^[10] Crawford's daughter Christina states "1904" twice in the biography Mommie Dearest, published in 1978.^[11]
