Unusual Pete Smith Specialty from MGM tells the story of a boy's childhood accident, getting hit by a baseball bat, that eventually took his sight in both eyes. With the aid of a caring mother and other authority figures, he acquires a dog for the blind and continues to make his toy airplanes and works skillfully with his hands in crafting other hand-made objects.When his rare abilities are noted by two men who happen upon seeing him work in his garage, they offer him a spot at their factory.
Thus begins his true rehabilitation. RUSSELL GLEASON does a nice job as the man who works with his hands despite his disability.
This short was produced in 1943 during the war effort which needed every pair of able hands to work in America's factories and offices. Well worth watching and based on a true story.
