March 12 - The Miracle Worker
Young Helen Keller, blind, deaf and mute, has become frustrated and violent. Her parents hire a teacher named Annie Sullivan, whose personal struggles have provided her with the tools to assist Helen. And so begins a battle of wills between student and teacher. Through sheer willpower and compassion, the walls separating Helen from the outside world begin to crumble, as Helen and Anne forge a connection. Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke won Academy Awards for their performances.
