Has anyone ever made a Movie about the life of Sachiel Paige? I personally think that would be a very good movie.

Don't know if this helps because it wasn't just about Paige, but "Soul of the Game" had him as the main character.

Here it is. Lou Gossett Jr played Paige. Made for CBS-TV in 1981. Probably should be on video but it's not:

Reviews are mixed. I haven't seen it.
Paige himself appeared in a 1959 film with Robert Mitchum:

Yes, the 1981 TV movie "Don't Look Back - The Story of Leroy Satchel Paige"
Lou Gossett Jr. Starred as Paige.

Here's a link. It was made in 1996 for HBO. Delroy Lindo played Paige:

He was also in a movie with Robert Mitchum called "The Wonderful Country" (1959) as Sgt. Sutton.

Sorry Rome Colonel. Didn't notice that you already mentioned his appearance in "The Wonderful Country".

Reading the link from Rome Colonel also shows that he had a part in "The Kid From Cleveland"(1949) as himself.

Delroy Lindo played Satchell Paige in Soul of the Game. In this movie, Paige thought he should have been the one to break the color line.
In my opinion, Paige breaking the color line would been a bad idea.

I've seen the movie "Don't Look Back" I must admit it is a pretty good watch. If you're interested in learning about Satchel Paige as a person, this movie is for you. It even has a brief Paige apperence.
