John Cassavetes became known for his unique blend of documentation and improvisation, and this early, emotionally draining film is no exception. Burt Lancaster plays the objective director of an institution for the mentally retarded; Judy Garland is excellent as a teacher whose overattentiveness to one of her charges has fostered in him excessive dependence upon her. A wonderfully provocative and sympathetic film. Read the complete review for A Child Is Waiting
