DVD Reviews of Dummy Hoy: A Deaf Hero
DVD Review: Interesting Topic, Lower Quality Than Anticipated
Summary: 3 Stars
In docu-drama style, this production helps tell a story that needs to be told more often. Dummy Hoy was, beyond being a deaf ballplayer, a very good ballplayer. Hoy is even referenced in Lawrence Ritter's "The Glory of Their Times : The Story of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It" I purchased this film with hopes that I would be able to get a bit more substantial knowledge out if it. However, it reads like an elementary biography. The production quality is pretty rough. At times, it feels like it was made as a college term project.
]This film tells an important story about an amazing and amazingly underrated individual. I will be donating this film to my local college's special education department because the story needs to be told. However, of you are a big baseball fan looking for a real baseball film, you might want to pass on this one - unfortunately. Just read up on this guy a bit.
