Title: "More films like this should be made today"
Product review: "A Child is Waiting" shows how much has not really changed in society's attitude toward the mentally challenged. Although political correctness would have us believe otherwise, people with disabilities are either derided or romanticized. "I am Sam" had alot more integrity than a travesty like "Rain Man", but Hollywood has a long way to go with treating the subject with tenderness and conviction, as Cassavettes does in his film.Garland, Lancaster, Rowlands and others are actors beyond compare to the stars today and just take your breath away, especially Garland. The scenes between her and Lancaster are wonderful. Get out your kleenex and your thinking cap and watch this little seen but gem of a film. Can't wait for a DVD!
