The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings (1976)

 A bunch of Black baseball players break away from their exploitative boss and form an independent team. They travel from town to town playing the local teams.

Comedy about the vicissitudes of entrepreneurship. While racism sets the framework in which the story develops, most of the plot revolves around conflicts within the Black community. The humor is light, and the narrative is sufficiently eventful to keep one entertained. As many sports movies, this one is fairly nice to look at, and the good cinematography helps.

Rating: 50
