Summary: I can admit that this movie is one of my favorites
Review: I think this movie is the most greatest movies I have ever see. This movie, I think has no mistake what so ever. I would tell everbody I know about this great movie I have seen about a 100 times. I bet you would be surprised when I tell you that I don't have a copy of this movie yet. Every time go to the movie place to find the movie they always say they don't have it. People tell me that since this movie is so old that it will be hard to find in a movie store.I don't think I will ever giveup look for this movie.

Summary: TERRIFIC! Duke & Bancroft well deserved their Oscars
Review: A moving black and white film version of the powerful stage play which also starred Bancroft & Duke in 1959. The shadows & shades of grey in this movie only add to the feelings of despair and confusion of a deaf-blind child. Much better than the 1979 TV version - a sunny, S California remake only saved by the performance of Duke, now as Annie Sullivan (for which she won an Emmy). This 1962 film version which also stars Inga Swenson & Vistor Jory is very much worth your time & money!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is a wonderful movie about Hellen Keller's life. It is confusing at first but when you really pay attention and listen it will become more clear. This movie I would recomend for people 10 and up. Not for little kids.

Summary: Bacroft & Duke Shine in "Helen Keller Story"
Review: Oscar winner Patty Duke and co-star Anne Bancroft give powerhouse performances as the blind deaf-mute Helen Keller and the young teacher determined to help the "crazy child" to realize her great potential for learning. Having been born into privileged circumstances, Keller's parents were able to provide the costly "assistance" necessary to show the child a way out of a life of sorrow and despair. -- We all know about the true "miracles" Annie Sullivan was able to work on Helen Keller despite the lack of confidence Keller's parents had had in any success. The powerful statement this account makes about a society that simply "writes-off" a considerable portion of our population as "useless" is still effective some 100 years later. It took the Helen Kellers and the Nellie Blys among us to point to inequities and unfairness, and the urgent need to bring about social changes. Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan have enlightened the world about the fact that all children, regardless of their handicap, can learn and better themselves. Sometimes modifications must be made to accomodate their limited abilities, but no one should be locked up in an attic and treated like a "freak" due to someone else's ignorance. "The Miracle Worker" educated us all! *****
