While the 'special effects' and technical attributes of this movie may in fact be laughable to some, I have never been able to erase the images this movie etched on my young and impressionable mind when I first saw it at around 8 years of age. The story of this girl's survival and of the trials she endured have stayed with me all these years, and I have thought back on more than one occasion about how the girl made it out of situations far beyond anything I have seen.
I first saw this movie back in the 1980's and now in 2006 this movie still is one of the best movies I have ever seen! I would recommend anyone to look at this movie.
Oh, I remember this movie. I've been looking for this title for a while now.
Its crazy to me because the only seen I saw before my parents changed the channel, was when she was pulling' the wiggler's out of her leg. Like many others it was seared in my brain for so long.
When I heard about this film back then, I wanted to see it for I was a big Susan Penhaligon fan, and also the story (based on an actual event) intrigued me. Well I finally got a chance to see it after 20 years and WHAT A MESS!!!!
The thing I remember most about this film is that it used to air on local KTLA TV (Ch. 5) during every Christmas season during the mid to late 70s, mainly due to the fact that the true story took place on or near Christmas Eve.
I have seen "Miracles Still Happen" now at least four times. I never tire of this fantastic movie.
