Description

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1962 drama, “The Miracle Worker,” starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 1 p.m.

Entry to the film is by donation.

Arthur Penn directed this tense and riveting film version of William Gibson’s play about Helen Keller, a blind and deaf adolescent whose increasingly wild, angry behavior causes her desperate parents to hire teacher Anne Sullivan whose methods are forceful and unusual.

An eight-minute sequence where Sullivan attempts to teach the pupil some manners stands as one of the most electrifying and honest ever committed to film.

Bancroft and Duke both won Academy Awards for their startling, physical performances.

The movie is sponsored by the California Retired Teachers Assn. CalRTA Div. 35. Not rated. Run time is 1 hour and 47 minutes.

The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com.
