Mandy is a 1952 British drama film about a family's struggle to give their deaf daughter a better life.

It stars Phyllis Calvert, Jack Hawkins and Terence Morgan, and features the first film appearance by Jane Asher.

[2] A high proportion of the film looks at educational methods for deaf people in the 1950s and focuses on oralism, a now controversial approach which relies on teaching the child to speak and lipread and discourages sign language.

As they realise their daughter's situation, the parents enrol Mandy in special education classes to try to get her to speak.

There are also hints of a possible affair between Christine and Dick Searle, the headmaster of the school for the deaf where Mandy is enrolled.

The film was shot at the Ealing Studios in west London, and also at the Royal Schools for the Deaf outside Manchester.
