What The Miracle Worker Is About
A teacher is hired for a child who lost both sight and hearing as a baby. She believes that indulging the child has isolated her further, and she opposes every habit of the household. The film does not hide that the teaching proceeds as something close to a fight; the long dining-room scene was shot almost unbroken and the physical struggle between the two performers is genuinely exhausting. The narrative ties the break to a single word. Arthur Penn directed. Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke won acting Oscars. It is adapted from a play staged with the same team. A real warning: forcible physical handling of a child is shown at length and those scenes are distressing.
