Product Description

Amazon.com essential video
Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft had been playing their respective roles as Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, on Broadway for some time before director Arthur Penn (The Left-Handed Gun) built a mesmerizingly beautiful film around their layers-deep performances. Duke is astonishing as the deaf, blind, mute Keller, who awakens to an awareness of language under Sullivan's determined guidance. Bancroft is fascinating and focused. Penn wisely kept his adaptation unencumbered by cinematic indulgence. The black-and-white film is sparse and charged with the immediacy of the drama. The script is by William Gibson, who also wrote the original play. --Tom Keogh

 Powerful January 2, 2009
This movie has a power to touch you in the deepest way. We all know the basic story of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan. But the two leading actors in the movie portray their roles so realistically, you take everything they feel personally. And the final climax is a most exhilaratingly moving scene with a sweet ending follows soon after. A must-see movie.

Classic July 30, 2008
This is a wonderful movie. Acting is superb and overcomes the obvious dated cinematography. Some things are classics and endure, this is one such thing
.
Must see June 18, 2008
I saw the original Broadway production as a child, and the movie captures the brilliant stage performance of thes two extraordinary actresses. The supporting cast is outstanding. It is hard to realize how young Patty Duke was when she played Helen Keller on Broadway. Exceptional production.
