REVIEWS:

"The Miracle Worker is a brilliant and touching character-driven
story, featuring two acting performances by Miss Bancroft
and Miss Duke that can never be forgotten. This is a
motion picture to be treasured for a lifetime."

-- David Von Pein; February 2006

"The absolutely tremendous and unforgettable display of
physically powerful acting that Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke
put on in William Gibson's stage play 'The Miracle Worker'
is repeated by them in the film."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; May 24, 1962
