...Child Is Waiting. What is it like to be a mental defective? What is being done to help such people? This film makes a calm inspection of this major disaster area (there are 5,700,000 defectives in the U.S.) and makes some surprising recommendations.

But time and again the real defectives steal the show. At first the spectator can see only their defects, but at last he sees what lies behind the defects: children much like...
