A Funny and Serious TV Film
13 March 2007
This film is a television remake of William Gibson's classic play about Annie Sullivan's efforts to draw Helen Keller from her world of darkness and silence.

This have been the first TV thing I've seen of The Miracle Worker and I thought it was pretty good. There were some pretty and great scenes with some great acting and some bad ones.

The acting by Alison Elliott was probably the best in the cast. I couldn't say much with Hallie Kate Eisenberg, who plays Helen. One thing I didn't like about the play is the separation with Annie and her brother. I find it so fake that I didn't believe that subplot at all. I find it laughable.

This film is sometimes dramatic with some of it's bad scenes, since it was in the play, but it's a good remake and has some funny scenes.
