In the best performance of his career, Marc Singer conveys a blind Tom Sullivan "seeing" the joys in the world around him and wringing the most enjoyment out of each and every one. His friends share in his antics and you sense a richness in their relationships that trandsends handicap. Skydiving, drinking, driving, meeting women, golfing, college blackouts and working in a pub are all approached with the same zest and joyous attitude. If you're looking for something different, this is it.

The Pool scene in the movie actually happened in real life only the little girl was his own daughter. The one liners and upbeat humor in this movie make it a great repeat movie to watch. There are many places I love but my favorite has to be when pulled over by the cop the blind guy is driving because he was the only one sober enough..... Wish they would put it on DVD my VHS tape is about worn out...

Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved this movie, and I have no idea why it just entered my head after all these years. I had to be about 16 when this movie was out, and I remember me and my dad just cracking up during the whole thing. I truly wish someone would take this fantastic movie and put it on DVD. I wish they made movies like this today. My kids have no idea what a good movie is these days. I vote this as my number one movie of all times!

I absolutely LOVED this movie!! I truly fell in love with Tom Sullivan, as played by Marc Singer. The man was fearless and willing to try anything, and I don't believe he regarded his blindness as a handicap. A fun and joyous romp. I just wish they'd release it on DVD!

I've been a fan of Marc Singer for years. This movie is his best to date. I'll buy this movie (already have it on VHS) when they put it on DVD.

this movie is one of the greatest..but no longer have vhs player..where can we get it on dvd?

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Truly entertaining and the fact that it is based on Tom Sullivan's real life, just makes it all the more priceless. Until they release this on DVD, I treat my VHS copy like gold!

I got the shipment in the time frame given. I would have liked it on dvd. I had to
get the movie on a used vhs tape. I was very happy with quality and condition of the
tape. The movie brings back of how as grown ups we still tend to break rules because we don't think they matter or we that we would get caught. In everyone's life time we realize life can change in moment and we pray that it all comes out well. I want to thank the supplier and amazon for being able to get this movie for me.

good movie, great pool rescue scene, blind guy hears kid fall into water...can't see..knows kid is drowning...finally finds kid..deep moment in movie

I read the book years ago and later saw the movie too. The thing that pleasantly surprised me when I saw the movie was how funny it was. I wasn't surprised it had the warmth that it had. But it also was entertaining and fun to watch.

However, the book also documented that when Sullivan met his wife, he was wild and rambunctious. But she was a good Catholic girl. The book documented with some depth that Sullivan had something of a religious awakening. I was mildly disappointed though that the movie didn't deal with that in much depth. Typical. With few exceptions, Hollywood writers and directors generally don't understand religion and would rather avoid it, at least with regard to Christian religion.

I call it a good movie, but not a great movie. It's entertaining, it's funny, and it has some warmth. There are some good moments. But the characters are a bit on the flat side. Some of it is predictably saccharine. It doesn't really capture the complexity of the main character as he was portrayed in the book. But it's a worth a viewing if you can find an old VHS copy.
