Review of The Catcher Was a Spy (2018) by Barbara Vandenburgh for Arizona Republic — 21 Jun 2018
The imagery is romantically period, with textured scenes staged in handsomely lit smoke-filled rooms, its newsreels and baseball stadiums suffused with charming Americana. But you can’t root for set design or feel empathy for colored filters.
You need human beings for that, and The Catcher Was a Spy keeps its heart under lock and key.
