The Miracle Worker
It's a compelling tale of Helen Keller's and Annie Sullivan's fight to overcome unimaginable obstacles and communicate. Helen Keller is afflicted with scarlet fever as a child. Unfortunately, she's now mute and deaf due to this condition. No one can reach Helen since she is cut off from the rest of the world. At times, Helen's despair and frustration boil over into violent fits of hysteria, terrifying her helpless family members. Annie Sullivan, a skilled teacher, is recruited by the family to help Helen Keller realize the world around her, liberating her from her personal prison. Patty Duke played Helen Keller in the original 1962 film's television adaptation.
