Quotes:
Aunt Ev:
There's a very famous Perkins School in Boston. They're supposed to do wonders.
Captain Arthur Keller: The child's been to specialists everywhere. They couldn't help her in Baltimore or Washington, could they?
Kate Keller: I think the captain will write to the Perkins School.
Captain Arthur Keller: Katie, how many times are you going to let them break your heart?
Kate Keller: Any number of times. As long as there's the slightest chance for her to see or hear.

Since I had read the play before hand I knew this movie would be excellent but I didn't think it would be this excellent! Anne Bancroft did a phenomenal job as Annie Sullivan, and Patty Duke as Helen made me wonder if she really was blind and deaf! I would reccommend this movie to anyone and everyone who wants to see a good flick! ~*~Jenny~*~ [Note: This version of the Miracle Worker is much better than the 1979 version of it. Melissa Gilbert was just too tall for the role of Helen!
