Film Buff Friday: The Miracle Worker

Being it's the season of miracles I thought we should commemorate it with a movie about that very thing, The Miracle Worker.

This film is based on two real people Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. Helen Keller is famous for her courage in overcoming her handicaps of being blind and deaf and achieving great things. The movie focuses on the time period where Anne Sullivan was employed by Helen's parents to teach her how to do those things.

Helen played by Patty Duke and Anne played by another Anne, Anne Bancroft both went on to win Academy Awards for their roles. Rightfully so their performances are honest and raw.

Remember miracles happen every day.
