Does anyone have a clue as to which film this was:

I watched it when I was about 10... 26 years ago.
It was on TV, and it was a black and white film.

The things that I remember was a young girl prob about 8 who was deaf, and some people wanted her too get put in ahome, because she couldn't speak.
A lady in the film helped this girl to talk small words, from talking into a balloon that was held next to the deaf girl, so she could feel the vibrations.

Anyone? God it made me cry, it was so moving and I would love to be able find out what it was called and to see it again hopefully.


Cheers for reading

Maybe A Showing Of The Film "the Miracle Worker"

The Miracle Worker (1962) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056241/)

Thank you for the replies, I searched on IMDB and found it.

It is Mandy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045654/) 1952.

A must watch for all. If its available anywhere?:o

"The Miracle Worker", this movie was based on the true life of Helen Keller, a girl that lived in either Tuscumbia, or Sheffield Alabama. I can't really remember which town, but there is a museum there at Helen's home. The town was located East of Muscle Shoals, AL. Also, there is a country music museum close by. Go on the internet and search for, Helen Keller Museum. I was there many, many years ago, sorry I don't recall more info about it though.
