Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1950 film, "The Jackie Robinson  Story," featuring Robinson as himself in this scripted version of his life. They consider the ramifications of this film being made in the era of Jim Crow, the oddity of playing yourself in your own life story, and why the heck, in a 77 minute film, any time is spared for the comic relief character "Shorty." Amidst puzzling inaccuracies and predictable omissions, they score the film on the 20-80 scouting scale.
