A Child Is Waiting
John Cassavetes takes a shot at straight commercial filmmaking (1963), and the results are a little wide of the mark. Burt Lancaster is the director of a school for the mentally retarded, Judy Garland is a teacher who disputes his methods. Earnest but uneven. Subjects like this seem to bring out the sanctimony in most directors, and Cassavetes, fine anarchic talent that he is, is no exception. With Gena Rowlands and Steven Hill. 102 min. |
