Director John Badham says at the top of his commentary track that he was going to be joined by others involved in the making of The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings but for some reason they didn't make the taping session. Which is just fine: Badham, who was debuting as a feature director, makes fine company on his own, recalling the intricacies of the production with impressive detail. The cast and Badham's biographies are stacked on the menu page in mock baseball cards; the original theatrical trailer is also pretty cute. The movie's widescreen (1.85:1) digital image isn't up to modern standards, but that's most likely the fault of the 1976 film stock, which tends to have a washed-out quality to it. The Dolby 2.0 sound is fine, with nice separation between the ragtime soundtrack and the dialogue track.

This was an awesome movie to watch as i had never heard about it until i started researching African-American baseball movies. Great acting and great insight into the plight of African-American players during an Era when the whole world was against integration and inclusion. We have made progress as a society but there is still A LOT of work to be done.

A memorable drama that explores the shattering of baseball's color barrier, Kevin Rodney Sullivan's Soul of the Game comes to DVD from HBO Home Video. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and featuring closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Surround audio, this release also offers alternate Spanish Dolby Digital Mono and French Dolby Digital Stereo soundtracks. In addition to optional English, Spanish and French subtitles, this disc offers such extra features as cast and crew biographies.

Was pleasantly surprised to find that this move came in a updated clam shell, the only ones i had seen were the older clasp DVD cases. That aside, the movie was exactly how i remembered it and looked great on my HDTV
