Still one of the greatest, best made movies I've ever seen. Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft were a phenominal pair. Incredible casting. I was a child when Patty Duke was nominated for an Oscar.
I love this movie ! I have a lot of respect for Helen , she is a very strong person and a great role model to learn to stay strong ,never give up, believe in yourself !
Brilliant! Beautiful and tender. It just shows that with a little love and patience how 2 different worlds can connect and become one. Anne Bancrofft and Patty Duke played vtheir parts superbly!
Patty Duke and the late Anne Bancroft gave the performances of their lives. No other film or video version of this timeless story will ever compare. There is a wonderful picture of Patty meeting the real Helen Keller and them finger-spelling for each other.
One of the best bio-pics of all time. It's interesting to see 16 year old Patty Duke play 7 year old Helen Keller and 31 Anne Bancroft play 18 year old Anne Sullivan.
Both credibly and tour de force. Brilliant actresses ("they broke the mold") amid a great cast whose naturalistic acting in the verisimilitudinous period sets makes us feel We Are There.
John Greene. Yeah I agree. 2 older women playing a younger woman and girl. You have your history down well actually . Still a good movie and good performances by Anne and Patty. I don't know if they could find a 7 year old to play that part as well as Patty did. :)
I both read the book from Helen and watched the movie .both are important and help to understand Helen s distress as an infant .she became wild and violent because she was frustrated . Being unable to.communicate at 19 months after an illness is unfair and horrific .. she lived in total.silence and darkness before Ann arrived ..Thanks Ann a million times for standing up to.helen and set her free from almost 5 years of darkness.Helen was normal as a baby like you and me , she could see the colours her parents and siblings and laughed , started to speak and overnight in february 1882 at 19 months she contracted à fever which left her with à double infirmity depriving her of sight and hearing and of Words she forgot all the words she had learnt and lived in a dunjeon . Sad .. Fortunately Ann came and tamed her and taught her langage.. Thanks to god and science there are vaccines against measles or scarlet fever and babies or infants the âgé of Helen when she was little can be treated ans cured..science has made huge progress..
the greatest dual performances in the history of cinema almost two different films in one,one part talkies and another part silent film. Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke were in an acting zone,a master class in one on one acting;which Bancroft is one greatest in that aspect of acting. wonderful filmmaking.
My husband and I just went to the Hellen Keller house in Tuscumbia, Alabama and I recognize it in the Miracle Worker movie. Helen was named "The First Lady of Courage". In 1904, at the age of 24, Keller graduated from Radcliffe, becoming the first deaf blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. AMAZING!
On this day in 1959 {October 19th} the play 'The Miracle Worker' opened on Broadway at the Playhouse Theater in N.Y.C. {it ran for 719 performances}. And in New York City three years later on May 23rd, 1962 the movie premiered... Patty Duke won the Academy Award for 'Best Supporting Actress'. Then three more years later on June 26th, 1965 Patty's "Don't Just Stand There" entered the Top 100 {it eventually peaked at #8}. Ms. Duke will celebrated her 67th birthday in two months on December 14th.
Erm, i don’t know about that. Singer/actress/conservationist Stefanie Powers is reportedly fluent in 6-7 languages and can “get by” in two more. Her first language is Polish. She said she became fluent in the other languages from traveling so much. When she was on the talk show “mike & maty” back in the 1990’s, she said, “i can speak spanish because i play polo, and have spent so much time with Argentinians.”
Amazing movie - the work is very like Applied Behaviour Analysis or Positive Behaviour Analysis used to help children with autism and learning difficulties. Amazing to see this movie reenact what working with these kids can be like. Of course ABA or PBS isn’t done as aggressively as in these scenes.
Today Ann would be considered a teacher who illtreats her pupils but she had to be tough with Helen.Helen was wild and very angry and she bit and hit Ann Sullivan in the beginning.
Look at how it is nowadays. Discipline and respect is absent, teachers have to be "lassez faire" and for the ill manners of spoiled brats, there are always excuses.
I've already seen the movie, just came here to like this amazing piece of art.! This movie literally got tears to my eyes and believe me when i say, i'm not a person who gets emotional so easily.!
The parents, I guess, tried to get her in line. Kind of tough on poor Helen though. Oh well, they didn't know what they were doing. I guess that's why they hired Ann to get tough and put poor Helen in her place. Oh well. I guess a happy ending.
To teach a blind and deaf person to comunicate, what I just can comprehend is how a 16 year old Patty Duke could play the part of a 7 year old Hellen Keller. That's a much bigger mistery.
She was incredible small, that's one point why she was casted. Her genes were probably passed on. One of her sons even played the hobbit sam in Lord of the Ring.
According to the “trivia” section of the movie, Patty wasn’t wanted because she was 16. She was chosen partly because she had played the part on Broadway. I also read her autobiography. By the time filming had ended, she had “blossomed.”
+chely c Could be that she could drive someone to do that? It couldn't have been easy if this was accurate...didn't do her any harm as she grew to be an inspiration to others and also lived with Anne Sullivan for years.
@Karena Fox 1-Aunt Ev, 2-Kate, 3-Kate again. Yes it got deleted for some reason. I have to go to work so I’ll talk later and I’ll give you some later :)
@Karena Fox okay awesome! Can’t remember if I done these quotes or not. 1-“Mrs Keller! Mrs Keller! Bell! Mrs Keller! Mrs Keller. Mrs. Keller. Mama! Papa! She knowwwwwsssss!” 2-“give me your hand and I’ll pull you along” 3-“no I have to rest for just a minute. Toto. Where’s Toto?”(lays next to him and goes to sleep)
This entire movie is Hollywood lies. By her own admission, Helen was a very difficult child, but she was NOT feral. She knew how to do chores and how to behave in front of company, and she certainly understood basic table manners. Nor was Anne Sullivan a child abuser. In fact, she and Helen got along quite well from the beginning. In her autobiography, Keller mentions sometimes getting frustrated with Sullivan and throwing tantrums, but Sullivan didn't respond by getting violent - she acted like a decent human being and let Helen calm down. Real feral children have a history of responding very poorly to such treatment. Look up Genie, who made decent progress after being rescued, but regressed quickly and permanently after being placed in an abusive foster home. I shudder to think of all the disabled kids who must have been abused because their parents took this piece of sensationalist nonsense or one of its ripoffs too seriously. Bad portrayals of disability, or anything else, can do very real harm.
You axxume much. I’m sure most child abusers haven’t seen this movie, as abuse is cyclical; and those with disabilities have been shut away in institutions for centuries.
@@Quaker-tc8ue No, most abusers haven't, but plenty have. Some child abusers and even murderers have actually cited The Miracle Worker in their defense.
@@Quaker-tc8ue You don't have to take my word for it. Foster Cline, who pioneered attachment therapy, a form of quack therapy that involves physically and mentally abusing children into unquestioning obedience, frequently compared his and his followers' victims to Helen Keller. Ten-year-old Candace Newmaker was a foster child who suffocated to death during a 70-minute rebirthing therapy session, during which her pleas to be let out and statements that she couldn't breathe were dismissed by the four unlicensed therapists as testing and manipulation from a troubled child who didn't want to get better; afterwards, Cline compared the situation to "what would have happened if Helen Keller, blind and deaf, had died in the hours-long battles that her young teacher, Anne Sullivan, was forced to put her through." Of course, there were no hours-long battles, and Keller was never in any danger of being beaten to death by Sullivan, but this is what happens when people mistake Hollywood movies for reality.
I just can't comprehend how someone could teach a blind and deaf person to be able to communicate. It amazes me!
My mother played the nun on the train. Muriel Hohmann 1919-2014.
That's amazing !
凄いです!

Incredible story!!-love it!!
The miracle worker is a great movie for all ages
This is one of my Favorite Movies, and i had the book too!
I love this movie,it made me cry at the end
Anne Bancroft. Patty Duke. Directed by Arthur Penn. Remarkable.
“The rooms a wreck, but her napkin is folded” that line took me way out 😂🤣😂
Isn't it a very British?😂😢
I wish Helen would talk 🕊️
and the teacher was herself barely more than a child herself, was nearly blind...a truly incredible woman.
She was the Mother that Helen needed. That’s no discredit to her real Mom ❤
Patty Duke and the late Anne Bancroft gave the performances of their lives. No other film or video version of this timeless story will ever compare. There is a wonderful picture of Patty meeting the real Helen Keller and them finger-spelling for each other.

Hard to believe as Patty Duke doesn't LOOK 16 at all here! I would have guessed she was maybe 10 or so....not 16!
This version is so much better

Superb Penn film, w/outstanding acting. Wonderful video.
RIP Great performance here.
Sullivan was "The Miracle Worker"; great book & film
Helen's Bio, "Light in My Darkness" is also a wonderful read.
You did a Beautiful job in editing key moments in the film to tell the whole story... thank you for this!
One of my favorites.

I think it's like how people can learn and understand a different language. She is just on a very higher level. :D

ted simonson. Yep. They call it child abuse.
Look at how it is nowadays. Discipline and respect is absent, teachers have to be "lassez faire" and for the ill manners of spoiled brats, there are always excuses.
best female performances ever
I've already seen the movie, just came here to like this amazing piece of art.!
This movie literally got tears to my eyes and believe me when i say, i'm not a person who gets emotional so easily.!

i love a lot deaf people! i do!
I wonder if Anne Bancroft was the one who started the whole groovy sunglasses trend in the 60's.
i am deaf sweet girl. i am student too deaf.
Pobre profesora jajaja
i like the disney version better, in this one she gets shaken and thrown around too much :O
+chely c Could be that she could drive someone to do that? It couldn't have been easy if this was accurate...didn't do her any harm as she grew to be an inspiration to others and also lived with Anne Sullivan for years.
The 2000 version is HORRIBLE.

@Karena Fox you can put the answers to my quotes on here from the other video if you get this
@Karena Fox 1-Aunt Ev, 2-Kate, 3-Kate again. Yes it got deleted for some reason. I have to go to work so I’ll talk later and I’ll give you some later :)
@Karena Fox all Annie signing to Helen! :) in try to think of some quotes without repeating! Awesome!
@Karena Fox okay awesome! Can’t remember if I done these quotes or not. 1-“Mrs Keller! Mrs Keller! Bell! Mrs Keller! Mrs Keller. Mrs. Keller. Mama! Papa! She knowwwwwsssss!” 2-“give me your hand and I’ll pull you along” 3-“no I have to rest for just a minute. Toto. Where’s Toto?”(lays next to him and goes to sleep)
@Karena Fox 1-James, 2- James or Kate? I’m unsure. That’s a great idea! The resemblance of these movies are great!
@Karena Fox 1-Annie? I’m bad at the 2000 version. I only know select lines. 2-Aunt Ev. 3-Annie for sure
Oooh this is Indian movie Black in black and white .

I know about Candace.
Folks went to prison because of it.
I saw the other version of the movie the not so old one. I like that better maybe because the actress there was much younger and cuter.
If you are referring to the 2000 version, it is HORRIBLE.
And stop allowing hollyweird to dictate your idea of what’s “cute.”
deaf me
Nadherny film
The only reason I'm watching this is because of Bo Burnham...sorry.
BOLLYWOOD MOVIE "BLACK" IS MUCH BETTER!!!
brave heart OMG YES!
No...
