The story of Jackie Robinson breaking Major League Baseball’s "color barrier" seems like ripe material for a Hollywood biopic, but other than ultra-low budget The Jackie Robinson Story from 1950 in which Robinson played himself, subsequent efforts to bring his story to the big screen have not been fruitful. Robinson’s widow, Rachel, had been personally involved in trying to get a biopic made for three decades before 42, written and directed by Brian Helgeland, managed to finally round third base and slide into theaters.
