Title: Sensitive rendition of developmentally disabled children
Product review: I saw this when it first came out in 1962, and not since. It had excellent reviews, but was generally ignored around awards time. Lancaster and, especially, Judy Garland are excellent The depiction of developmentally disabled kids is handled with such sensitivity and care, you find yourself cheering, while at the same time feeling Garland's frustration. I really hope someone has the sense to release a DVD for American release. This film should be seen by everyone. AFTERTHOUGHT: Kids are kids; unfortunately, "adults" don't realize that those disabled kids just want to be loved. That's what Garland did, and it's a subject many "adults" don't want to deal with. So sorry for the kids...
