I watched this thing obviously to just stare at the tv and have never forgotten it. Every now and then a movie with no recognition and no performances dominating it come along and you don't forget them and this was one of them. I have never even talked to anyone about this story and I worked for a year and a half with handicapped children.
Obviously it was true. I never regarded it as a disease of the week film. I can still see the child banging his crib in the dark and spinning plastic lids. When they took the lid away from him, he rocked.
The cure was startling to say the least, but the movie followed that it worked. Whether or not it could, who knows? But from what we saw in the story, it seemed plausible. Then there was a relapse, complete and utter devastation. It was a compelling story, especially from the children involved. I believe one of the sisters was a recognizeable child actress, who went on to appear on Little House on the Prairie in its final years.
