Review of Seeing Hands

I'm going to guess that the story is actually true although I did no research to confirm that. It is about a boy who went blind in childhood and found ways to make life fulfilling once again. It has the normal quantity of early 1940s cornball innocence which is in its own way endearing. In a silly moment brought on by the tone of the film, I imagined the reaction of a 12 year-old boy in a theater viewing "Seeing Hands" between feature on a Saturday afternoon in 1943. I could almost hear the kid exclaim, "Golly, I wish I were blind!" Like I said, it was a silly moment.
