The true story of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan, THE MIRACLE WORKER is a gripping and inspiring story of the battle to overcome impossible obstacles and the struggle to communicate. As a young girl, Helen Keller (a brilliant Patty Duke) is stricken with scarlet fever. The illness leaves her blind, mute, and deaf. Sealed off from the world, Helen cannot communicate to anyone, nor anyone to her. Often frustrated and desperate, Helen flies into uncontrollable rages and tantrums that terrify her hopeless family. Annie Sullivan (Anne Bancroft) thinks differently. The gifted teacher comes to help the little girl understand the world from which she is isolated. In a moment of pure inspiration, Annie presses the sign-language word for water into Helen`s palm as fountain water rushes over it. The little girl understands. In that moment the teacher helps Helen Keller escape her silent, sightless prison forever. Under Arthur Penn`s controlled direction, Bancroft and Duke deliver unforgettable, flawless performances. The screenplay for THE MIRACLE WORKER was written by William Gibson, who also wrote the book.
