  • "Well acted film version of William Gibson's stage play about the struggle of Boston teacher Annie Sullivan (Anne Bancroft) to communicate with and then teach the deaf, blind and mute child, Helen Keller (Patty Duke). Directed with great authority by Arthur Penn who guided both of his actresses to deserved Academy Awards, and containing at least one unforgettable scene - that in which the child first realizes that the word "water" being tapped out on her hand by her teacher refers to the liquid pouring from the pump in front of her. Victor Jory and Inga Swenson appear as the two Keller parents."@en

  • "William Gibson's play is based on the relationship between Helen Keller born deaf and blind and her Irish governess, Annie Sullivan. While still retaining traces of theatricality in the dialogue the overriding impression of the scenes between Helen and Annie, often filmed in long takes, is that of raw spontaneity. This unsentimental life-affirming film is grounded in a sense of the complexities and confusion of human existence. Helen is the ultimate outsider, an outcast from life itself. Annie, a combination mother and father to Helen, is able to give her life through the (re)birth of human intelligence. Annie achieves this because of her obsessive drive, a measure of both her greatness and unfittedness for normal life. The intense physicality of the drama comes close to reconciling conscious control and instinctive drive."@en

  • "An adaptation of William Gibson's 1959 play about Annie Sullivan, the teacher that opens up the world for the blind and deaf Helen Keller. This compelling story of unconditional love and perseverance, the Kellers of Tuscumbia, Alabama, are a family in crisis. Their eight-year-old daughter Helen has been blind, deaf and mute since she was 18 months old, and her most consistent form of communication is to grab, tear and scratch violently at anything, or anyone, handy. Captain and Kate Keller feel such tremendous love and pity for Helen that they indulge her every whim. The result is that they have lost any semblance of peace in their home and son James bitterly resents how much attention is lavished on his half-sister. The Kellers make one last attempt to find a solution to their daunting problem. The Perkins School for the Blind in Boston offers to send one of their best students, Annie Sullivan, a recent graduate, to the Keller household to be Helen's live-in teacher in 1887. Annie, herself the product of an arduous childhood, also suffers from failing eyesight. Sullivan immediately, and sternly, tries to teach Helen manners and to use finger spelling -- sign language letters done against the palm of her hand -- as a true language. The process starts with Annie signing into Helen's hand the names of different objects. However, Helen cannot make the crucial connection between those letters and the actual objects and she expresses her frustration violently. Additionally, the Kellers, uncomfortable with seeing their "pitiful" child disciplined, frequently undermine Annie's authority. Sullivan, who is on her own journey of self-discovery, hatches a plan to save her job, control the family interference and create a world of structure for her bright, lively young student that is essential for her to learn and survive. Annie's determination leads Helen to a climactic breakthrough that allows her to discover the world through the eyes and ears of others. Growing into one of the most extraordinary women of any time, Helen served as an international leader for the disabled, with the assistance of the lifelong friendship and support of her teacher and mentor, Annie Sullivan, whose groundbreaking techniques for teaching deaf and blind people are still being used today."@en

Annie Sullivan, une jeune institutrice de 20 ans ayant elle même récemment retrouvé la vue, parvient à entrer en contact avec Helen par le pouvoir du toucher. Elle guidera alors son audacieuse élève dans un voyage miraculeux vers le bonheur et la lumière. (jaquette)."
  • "One might, at first, assume that a biographical film about the education of deaf, mute and blind Helen Keller might be a study in mawkish sentimentality. To the contrary, it is a tough, thought-provoking and often unsettlingly honest story of two very strong personalities, clashing and ultimately overcoming incredible odds. Oscars went to both Patty Duke (as Keller) and Anne Bancroft (as her teacher, Annie Sullivan) for their exceptionally powerful performances, in this recreation of their Broadway success. (NOTE: For this film production of William Gibsonʹs award winning play, United Artists had wanted to replace Bancroft with a more bankable star, but director Arthur Penn insisted on Bancroft, thus bringing her not only commendations for this fine film, but also a long and distinguished Hollywood career.)
