Format:DVD
This black and white 1950's film is a moving story of the struggle of a young girl to overcome her congenital deaf and dumbness. This may not seem an appealing topic for entertainment but the script and the acting lift this film to a minor classic status. It is filmed against the devastating backdrop of war torn Britain with all its deprivations. This adds to the emotion of the narrative and supplies a certain nostalgia for those who remember those hard years. The theme probably gave a boost to the film enthusiasts who needed all the hope they could find in those dark days. The film is typical of the understated but effective way that the British film industry handled such themes. I strongly recommend it.

I have nothing to add with regards to the film itself that the previous reviewer hasn't already covered. With this I am in complete agreement. However, what a disappointment the new dvd prentation turned out to be. No attempt to carry out any restoration work on the print (plenty of shake early on), no special features, nothing extra in the way of any cover inserts and worst of all NO SUBTITLES!
At around £9.00 this could and should have been so much better.
GREAT FILM.

Loved this film the first time. Really enjoyed it again and again - this is unmissable and a great voyeaux on attitudes to special needs in the 1950's. Bought it with 'The Miracle Worker' - a great weepy weekend!

An old but very moving film about a deaf child which is very relevant to anyone with interest in deafness, especially in children today.
