Plot
A teacher struggles to reach the young Helen Keller, who is deaf and blind, and to teach her to communicate.
Sinekatalog’s take
Arthur Penn's drama of Annie Sullivan teaching Helen Keller is raw and powerful. Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke both won Oscars, and the physical, ferocious classroom battle is unforgettable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
