The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)

The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) Near the turn of the twentieth century, young Harry Vardon becomes a champion golfer but learns that his amazing skill is no match for the class boundaries that exclude him from “gentlemanly” English society. A dozen years later, a young American, Francis Ouimet, fights against the same prejudice, as well as his own father’s disdain, for a chance to participate in the U.S. Open against his idol — Harry Vardon. The struggles of both men for acceptance provides the background for an amazing contest of skills. ??Jim Beaver Awards: 3 nominationsBudget: $26,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $15,431,177Soundtrack: You Made Me Love You (Written by James V.
