Without a doubt, one of the most brilliant films of all time. Patty Duke was simply impeccable as the young Helen Keller. What many don't realize on seeing it is that one of the most dramatic scenes, the battle of wills in the locked dining room, was completely shot in one sequence. Over 5 minutes long. Utterly mind boggling. I'm only sorry they have colorized it as the b&w lent great gravity to the film. I would rate this as SIX stars.
