This review is from: The Life of Jackie Robinson (DVD)

This is not a great movie for movie making purists. For those who like baseball history, it is a fine film that tells the story of Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson plays himself while being surrounded by familiar backlot faces and playing opposite Ruby Dee. There is a lot for people to remember in this film. Some may be offended by the racial slurs even though markedly toned down.
