This is not what you expect of a John Cassavetes film. Yet it is a very fine picture with wonderful camerawork and a brilliant sense of timing.

One should learn a great deal from this picture -- all of which should be helpful and give hope.

A little too melodramatic for my taste. Not what I think of when I think Cassavetes.

No other movie properly shows what enabling does to our potential. This film also shows the worth and intelligence of a people greatly misunderstood by the rest of humanity. Everyone should watch this.

Accessible and tear-jerking studio outing from director, and American indie legend, John Cassavetes. While his creative juices were curtailed when he was allegedly fired by Stanley Kramer during the edit, Cassavetes skill as a director comes through in the wonderful performances and direction that keep this movie clear of overtly hammy melodramatic blunders. Garland was never better and while this may not have fulfilled the director's full vision it is proof that, even early in his career and under the shackles of 'the system', Cassavetes was one of America's brightest and most interesting directing talents.
