Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft had been personification their particular purposes as Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, on Broadway for a little time prior to executive Arthur Penn (The Left-Handed Gun) built a mesmerizingly pleasing movie around their layers-deep performances.

Although there were minute, short Scratches on the DVD, the performance of the DVD did not seem to be affected. I am sorry it has taken me so long to review it,but we have not had time to view it until now and we do not have internet at home. Nevertheless, We watched it last night and the DVD performed flawlessly. Therefore I expecially made another trip into town to send you this review so you would get it as soon as possible. Again, sorry for the long delay in this review. Thanks for sending the DVD so rapidly, also. Best regards, Donna Mahnke

The DVD came just fine in the mail. However, the DVD was blank. I thought that it was my player goofing up, I checked on 5 other machines and computers as well… did not work. The DVD was just blank. I am surprised that something like this would come from Amazon.

The DVD “The Miracle Worker” staring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke skips in places. I didn’t want to go through the trouble of sending it back so I’ll keep it. I thought I was actually ordering the one with Patty Duke and Melissa Gilbert.

I am a (…) teacher and my class just finished reading the Helen Keller story. They were so intrigued by the story that I wanted to show them the video, so they could really feel the story. As a child I remember watching this version of The Miracle Worker and I knew I could get it at our local video store. I prepared my class that this movie was not in color but in black and white. Unfortunately, I did not re-watch this version. The “scarey” sounding music was too intense for my class. It was difficult to really listen to the words. I felt I had to narrate the movie. After about 10 minutes, I could sense that my class was somewhat uncomfortable watching this version. They still would like to see the video and I promised them another version. I think for a school setting the Disney version is a better choice.
