Leroy “Satchel” Paige talks baseball with local children in Mexico on the set of the 1960 movie “The Wonderful Country.” Robert Mitchum and Julie London starred; Paige played Cavalry Sgt. Tobe Sutton.
It was Paige’s only real acting role (He made a cameo appearance as himself ten years earlier in “The Kid from Cleveland“), and it’s a pretty good film.
