Totally blind and deaf from age two, Helen Keller meets a blind dedicated teacher of the blind, Anne Sullivan, who refuses to see this totally non-communicative child live any longer in the dark in this 1962 biographical film set in 1887 America. At age 20, Anne took on the 7 year old Helen, and with great struggles slowly removes little Helen's fears and anxiety from being lost in a world without two of her senses, by teaching her how to communicate. Oscars were given to both Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft for their performances. A must see true story!

This film is a dramatization of the relationship between Helen Keller, a child who was both deaf and blind, and her teacher, Annie Sullivan It shows how Sullivan's tireless efforts enabled Keller to be transformed from a savage to a child who could be taught and eventually make her way in society. Very moving and inspirational.

This movie is a classic. I felt kind of sad for Helen Keller. She couldn't see, hear or talk. Anne Bancroft sure had her hands full trying to teach her. I loved the ending when Helen signs that she loved her teacher. That melted my heart.

Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke are amazing in this rendition of Helen Keller's life. It is a movie about the human condition, and how determination and hope can solidify the foundation of our lives.

This is a great movie to have in your collection. It's insightful, moving and really delves into the heart of giving, commitment and sacrifice. I would recommend it to anyone!

Although this movie is black and white, viewing it in DVD format is so much better than my VHS copy was. Highly recommend this classic which I first saw in a movie theatre as a pre-teen.

I enjoyed this movie as much as when I saw it as a child. We all need a reminder of what it’s like to overcome difficulties and become the best we can be.

Documents the care giver who influenced Helen Keller to overcome her disabilities. I great example of dedication and self sacrifice to help others in need.
