"The Jackie Robinson Story" (1950)

This is a biography of Jackie Robinson. More than anything it represents a significant milestone in baseball and the civil right movement.

Jackie doesn't do a terrible acting job which you don't really notice because the screen play, although light, is very face paced.

The viewer is rocketed through the life of a young pre-teen Jackie Robinson, his football college career, touches on his military service in the second world war, his minor league career, and through his 1949 season with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
