Both 42 and The Jackie Robinson Story—which is in the public domain, and can be watched in full above—cover fairly obvious moments in Robinson’s rise to prominence: spring training with the Montreal Royals (a farm team), the petition signed by some of the Dodgers who didn’t want him on their team, the Dodgers’ clinching of the pennant during his first season. Some of the pivotal scenes even overlap a bit in their dialogue. In both 42 and The Jackie Robinson Story, when Rickey tells Robinson that he must resist provocation by hecklers, the scripts echo a moment made famous by history. Robinson is said to have asked, “Mr. Rickey, are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?” “Robinson, I'm looking for a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back,” Rickey reportedly said.
