October 9, 2026… #movieoftheday is The Jackie Robinson Story (full movie) (1950).
“The Jackie Robinson Story is a 1950 biographical film directed by Alfred E. Green (who had directed The Jolson Story , "one of the biggest hits of the 40s") and starring Jackie Robinson as himself. The film focuses on Robinson's struggle with bigotry abuse as he becomes the first African-American Major League Baseball player of the modern era. The film is, in part, based on Robinson's own autobiography, My Own Story . The film is among the list of films in the public domain in the United States.” - more at Wikipedia
Jackie Robinson's uphill battle to the big leagues began when he was just a little boy. Given a mitt and a chance, Jackie easily proved how good he was on the field, but it would take more than just his talent to reach the top. Being African-American in a time of racial discord, Jackie had to overcome impossible barriers to get his shot. By playing hard and overcoming unbelievable odds, he proved he was not only one of the best players to set foot on a major league diamond, but also one of the bravest men ever to grace American sports! Jackie Robinson gives an electric turn, starring as himself, and the legendary Ruby Dee heads up the spectacular supporting cast.
