无声的崩溃 (1952)

　　Mackendrick introduced a new strain of realism into his films with this moving story of a deaf child whose refusal to reach outside her cocoon of silence traumatizes her middle-class parents and threatens to destroy their unstable relationship. The first in Mackendrick's trilogy about precocious and destructive children, Mandy is an absolutely fascinating melding of The Miracle Worker's semi-documentary theater and Brief Encounter's fractured and intensely first person melodrama of marital dissatisfaction.<br /> 　　译文(3): 麦肯德里克在他的电影中引入了一种新的现实主义风格，讲述了一个聋哑儿童的感人故事，她拒绝走出沉默的茧，这给她的中产阶级父母带来了创伤，并有可能破坏他们不稳定的关系。作为麦肯德里克关于早熟和破坏性儿童的三部曲中的第一部，《曼迪》是《奇迹工人》的半纪录片剧场和《短暂邂逅》破碎而强烈的第一人称婚姻不满情节剧的完美融合。
