| User ReviewRodrigo DEsta es la pelicula, que me hizo fanatico del cine; la primera que me hizo carcajear y llorar... si alguien la encuentra en DVD, BluRay, HD-DVD, VHS, Beta, Laser Disc, Super8 o en Celuloide... no pierda un segundo en avisarme. |

| User ReviewAudrey LWritten and directed by Gleason,this film is heartwrenching and funny,poignant and touching. Jackie Gleason plays a deaf mute,who befriends the neglected little daughter of a french prostitute.What an incredible role for Gleason to show his talent for acting-facial expressiveness and body language alone-stellar. |
| User ReviewPaul Pgreat little flick back from the '60s, showcasing Gleason's talent as a writer/performer and Kelly's eye for directing. |
