Review of the Jackie Robinson biopic "42"

"42" is the number Jackie Robinson wore playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers as the first African-American major league baseball player.  And it's the name of the biopic movie now playing.  Our Movie Moles Denise Morris and Jan Haaken discuss what the film reveals and doesn't reveal about the racism of the day (1947).  Their thumbs are up for this one.
