Starring in what is "quite possibly the most moving double performance ever recorded on film" (Time), Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke are remarkable in their Oscar-winning portrayals of Annie and Helen. "Ennobling and uplifting" (Variety), this inspirational story of courage and hope is "one of the finest works of art in the history of motion pictures" (Boxoffice).

Locked in a frightening, lonely world of silence and darkness since infancy, 7-year-old Helen Keller has never seen the sky, heard her mother`s voice or expressed her innermost feelings. Then Annie Sullivan, a 20-year-old teacher form Boston arrived. Having just recently regained her own sight, the no-nonsense Annie reaches out to Helen through the power of touch - the only tool they have in common - and leads her bold pupil on a miraculous journey from fear and isolation to happiness and light.
