The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
... and from this man who could not speak or hear, the girl heard many things.
Directed by Robert Ellis Miller
Produced by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts
A tender, introspective portrait of isolation and human connection, centered on a deaf-mute man who becomes an emotional anchor for those around him, particularly a young girl with artistic dreams.
Singer is a deaf-mute whose small world brings him in contact with a young girl, Mick, who cherishes a seemingly hopeless dream of becoming a concert pianist. At first hostile, Mick soon becomes friends with Singer, hoping to enlarge his small world. Three other central characters come to Singer for help also, each of them seeing in him a powerful force.
