A Child Is Waiting (1963)

United Artists
Directed by John Cassavetes
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Kino Lorber)

The story of Reuben, a child who arrives at a mental institute run by Burt Lancaster. New music teacher Judy Garland is taken by Reuben, but she must learn that letting go is in the best interest of everyone. Gena Rowlands and Steven Hill are excellent as Reuben's parents. There are several emotional scenes, including an unforgettable Thanksgiving play.
