About Don't Look Back: The Story of Leroy "Satchel" Paige
The story of Leroy "Satchel" Paige, the legendary pitcher, from his barnstorming days in the 1920s, hoping to break into organized "negro" baseball, to his emergence at age 43 in the major leagues with the Cleveland Indians the year after Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier.
Directed by Richard A. Colla, Don't Look Back: The Story of Leroy "Satchel" Paige leans on a strong ensemble — Louis Gossett Jr., Beverly Todd, Cleavon Little — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1981.
