Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Gaby: A True Story (1987)

Well-handled movie about a girl born with cerebral palsey in 1947. The first 30 minutes or so were almost Helen Kellerish while she’s given up as an irritant rather than a person.  But, luckily for the family, they employed a housemaid who thought she could get through to her. Unfortunately, the story is linear in such a way that it feels like it goes on longer than necessary.

Still, pretty interesting.
