...Look, I was nine when I saw the movie in 1953; what could a kid know? This one thought, and thinks, that "Dr. T." is a bold and spooky parable of persecution and revolution. What's bold? Well, for a start, the conception of the main characters. Except for young Bart Collins (Tommy Rettig, who a few years later became Lassie's best friend on TV), they are weak or venal. Dr. Terwilliker (the sublimely snide Hans Conried) is a musical megalomaniac who wants every child in the world to learn his Happy Fingers piano technique. Bart's mother Henrietta...

...dissolves into a bright memory of them holding hands on a rooftop, the older brother telling his sister to jump, trust him, everything will be O.K. It's a tender moment in a dark, intimate film about courage in the face of hopelessness. Carried by two engaging leads and bold cinematography that soaks every shot in sweat, Blind Spot is better than most films playing in a theater near you. But you'll probably never get a chance to see it. With the Academy Awards - Hollywood's annual celebration of global dominance - now come and gone, it's worth considering...
