Some films transcend conventional greatness.  THE MIRACLE WORKER, William Gibson's adaptation of his own award-winning play, belongs to this most distinguished category.  Patty Duke (in her first screen appearance) and Anne Bancroft both won Oscars in 1962 for their portrayals of a little girl struggling to communicate, and the young teacher who relies on her guts and sheer instinct to bring light into the young girl's dark world.  Blind and deaf since infancy, Helen (Duke) is a constant ordeal for her parents, who cannot bring themselves to teach or discipline her.  They finally turn to Boston's Perkins School, who send the formerly blind Annie Sullivan (Bancroft) to help.  Annie tries to treat Helen as normally as possible, but soon finds herself battling the girl's cleverness, her violent, stubborn nature, and her parents' overcompensating attentions.  Superlatives were lavished upon this film, but perhaps THE WASHINGTON POST put it most succinctly:  "Inspiring films are rare, and THE MIRACLE WORKER is precisely that".1962/B&W/107 Min/NR/Hi-Fi.....................
