The early life of the future baseball star is told here. Jackie Robinson was a young college student and athlete who learned never to take racist attacks lying down.

The film climaxes when Jackie Robinson must face a court-martial for insubordination when he refused to go to the back of the bus when the white bus driver ordered him, knowing that he was in his rights to do so.

Famous quotes by Satchel Paige:

"My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat."

"Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man."

"The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal."

"I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball."

"Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines."

"Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter."

"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"

"Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching."

"Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money."

"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

"I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old."

"I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench."

"You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat."

"I was born in August, no July, 1908."

"My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big."

"Avoid fried foods, which angry up the blood."

"When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can't hit it."

"I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation."

"Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move."

"Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you."

Don't Look Back: The Satchel Paige Story (Preview Clip)

Duration: 3:01
Updated: 08 Jul 2014

Purchase Don't Look Back here: http://bit.ly/1ov2Kj7 "Don't look back," legendary baseball pitcher Satchel Paige said. "Something might be gaining on you." That's how Paige went through life. Straight ahead. No regrets. Here it is, hit it. (Hardly anyone could.) As Paige, Louis Gossett, jr. winds up and blows batters away in this biographical winner based on Paige's book Maybe I'll Pitch Forever. In an era when the Major League was "whites only," Paige dominated the talent-rich Negro League with his so-called "trouble ball" and other pitches. And he campaigned for the day when he and other blacks would get their chance at the big show. When Paige's time finally came, he was past his prime. Yet, as always, he made the most of it. Beverly Todd, Cleavon Little and Ossie Davis costar in this fond look at a sports immortal's life and times. Paige was an athlete, a showman, a trailblazer. And in 1971, he was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame. ------ 1,000+ Rare films, TV movies, and series on DVD direct from the Studio. http://www.warnerarchive.com
