- What is The Natural / The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings about?
THE NATURAL, 1984, Sony Repertory, 134 min. Barry Levinson directs Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs, an over-the-hill rookie who appears out of nowhere to lead a losing 1930’s baseball team, the New York Knights, to the top. A tragic turn had destroyed Roy Hobbs early playing career, and now he is going to live what should have been.
THE BINGO LONG TRAVELING ALL-STARS & MOTOR KINGS, 1976, Universal, 110 min. This baseball classic helmed by John Badham was his directorial debut. Billy Dee Williams stars as Bingo Long, a Satchel Paige-like character, who manages a barnstorming Negro League baseball team loosely based on the famous Ethiopian Clowns. Tired of being mistreated by Negro League owner Sallie Potter (Ted Ross), Bingo begins stealing all-stars from other teams including Leon Carter (James Earl Jones), standing in for home run king Josh Gibson. As the Long Shots’ success grows, it begins to cut into the league’s earnings, and a winner-takes-all game must be played.
