The Miracle Worker
Drama106 min
Seven-year-old Helen Keller lives in a world without sight or sound, cut off from language and prone to violent frustration that her family cannot reach. Anne Bancroft is Annie Sullivan, the young Boston teacher brought in to educate her; opposite her, Patty Duke’s Helen meets touch, discipline, and stubborn patience with equal force. Drawn from the true story of Keller’s early life, the film stays close to the daily struggle between tutor and child, as Annie pushes against the habits of the household and tries to open a path to communication through the only thing they share: touch.
