ROON Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 To run alongside Mick's thread of films you recommend for him to watch, howsabout a thread on all those old black and whites that we either grew up with or were sort of forced to enjoy by our parents;;;;; there were loads that I just loved - so romantic and the music .... oh... Does anybody remember Waterloo Bridge? I broke my heart at the end. And the music in The Wind cannot Read ..... starring Dirk Bogarde? I broke my heart when I found out he was gay :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROON Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi Michele, Do you mean Helen Keller? http://books.google.co.uk/books?as_auth=Helen+Keller This is a true story and I remember it. There was also a film with Bette Davis in about a lady looking after a girl but not sure if that is the one you mean... it had the infamous line 'Why ask for the moon when we have the stars' or something like that..... But I suspect it is the Helen Keller one you mean. There is a scene in it which is really touching where the lady holds a balloon to the little girl's mouth and makes the sound 't' and the little girl eventually understands and makes the same sound.....

ROON Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Twooks, now you have said that, that may be the one with the scene with the balloon. Both of them may be of help to Michele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
