ALT__TITLE

DISABILITY Learning Difficulty

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH 90

GENRE Documentary

DIRECTOR Ira Wohl

CAST Frances Reiss

Philip Wohl

NOTES A follow up to the story of Philip Wohl first seen in Best Boy

(1979).

I have to say I think this film is rubbish. Perhaps the first film

Best Boy had a novelty factor but now we see this sort of stuff

every day as the camera follows someone or other around.

To be worthwhile one has to produce something with insight,

that extends our knowledge, that changes our attitudes.

To me this film smacks of patronage where Philip Wohl is an

object of curiosity. Could you ever imagine anyone watching

this in the cinema? It's for the terminally couch-bound.
