Dr. Matthew Clark is the head of a state institution for intellectually disabled children. Jean Hansen, a former music teacher anxious to give her life some meaning, joins the staff of the hospital.

The film ran into trouble with Cassavetes's attempt to bring his unconventional improvisational style to the shoot.

Pavan R 27 Jun 2010

A minor Cassavetes, but an interesting film. The performances are great, and the direction is, of course, good, especially for all of the special children involved. Too bad it was taken away from him during editing, it has the seeds of greatness.

Burt Lancaster delivers a firm, sincere, persuasive and unaffected performance.

Todd J 13 Apr 2008

Judy Garland is great. She shows great compassion and heartache for the children in the story.

JessicaAnn D 08 Sep 2007

More interesting than I expected, namely for the use of actual "disabled children" than for any of the performances. Both Lancaster and Garland seem to be coasting, but Steven Hill does a really good job as Reuben's father.
