THE JACKIE ROBINSON STORY (1950): This biographical film stars the baseball legend himself in a dramatic story about the player who integrated major league ball.

It then follows him to his momentous meeting with Branch Rickey of the no less legendary Brooklyn Dodgers who brought Robinson in as a professional player to the previously all-white sport.
Cast: Jackie Robinson
THE JOE LOUIS STORY (1953): A serviceable, if stilted, biopic about the eponymous hero in boxing and racial equality, who became heavyweight champ in the '30s despite overwhelming prejudice and Max Schmelling. Real-life boxer Coley Wallace brings a boxer's authenticity to his portrayal of Joe Louis.
Cast: Coley Wallace, Ossie Davis

THE BIG WHEEL (1949): The ambitious son of an accomplished race driver struggles to outrun his father's legacy and achieve his own successes.

THE GREAT DAN PATCH (1949): Taking liberty with some of the facts, THE GREAT DAN PATCH nonetheless offers a stirring biographical account of one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Raised by farmer Dan Palmer (Henry Hull) in turn-of-the-19th-century Indiana, standardbred pacer Dan Patch is nurtured into greatness by Palmer's son David (Dennis O'Keefe), a young chemist who has returned to his rural hometown to marry schoolteacher Ruth Treadwell (Ruth Warrick). As Dan Patch begins winning race after race and setting multiple records for speed, David finds himself pursuing his own dreams of happiness by abandoning marriage to snobbish Ruth and falling in love with the horse trainer's daughter, Cissy Lathrop (Gail Russell).
Cast: Dennis O'Keefe, Gail Russell, Henry Hull, Ruth Warwick
KID MONK BARONI (1952): Teenage tough Paul Baroni (Nimoy, in his first major screen role) has a face only a mother could love, but his mean left hook makes him a natural born boxer, as his parish priest discovers after putting the kid in the ring to keep him off the streets. A sleazy manager takes him to the big time, but he quickly forgets the lessons he learned back in his old neighborhood.
