Review of Johnny Belinda (1948) by Steven C — 06 Apr 2012
While the ending to "Johnny, Belinda" is surprisingly understanding and Jane Wyman's star making and Oscar winning performance is lovely, it's still a pretty dumb movie. The way deafness is handled in the picture is quite silly, and the events (rape and murder and misunderstanding in Canada) comes out a wash.
See this film for the acting and a portrait on how misunderstood conditions were handled on screen back in the 40s.
