the 1960's version of The Miracle worker with patty duke as helen keller
they made us watch this when i was in elementary school...had to be 2nd or 3rd grade...i only remembered the food scene because all the kids in my class were laughing at it and i found it oddly disturbing.
saw that it was coming on turner classic movies channel and set a recording and watched it...didnt know it was adapted from the tv series which was adapted from a play which was adapted from keller's autobiography
