This is just a warm, beautiful story that the entire family will enjoy. I saw it originally back in 1979. Sally Struthers is wonderful in it as Jonahs mother. In the beginning Jonah has been misdiagnosed as being mentally retarded. But he is only deaf. His mother and father (James Woods) struggle to make sense of it all. They blame each other and then themselves. Jonah is trapped in a world he does not understand. Only through love and his mothers determination is Jonah helped to understand this crazy world we live in. It makes you feel for the handicapped and understand how they are misunderstood and discriminated against. Grab the tissues for the end as if this one does not make you cry, you have no heart. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone!
