NOTES B/W, Silent

When his son is accused of a murder a blind cobbler knows

who the real killer is because of his super human hearing.

The cobbler presents himself as the bait knowing the

murderer will want to silence him.

The observation that visually impaired people have superior

hearing to seeing people is continued up to the present day in ontact (1997). The reality is that people who are born blind

sometimes have a hearing impairment as well.
