Mandy, later sold to television as Crash of Silence, is a 1952 British drama film, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, written by Nigel Balchin and Jack Whittingham, and produced by Michael Balcon and Leslie Norman, and based on the novel The Day is Ours by Hilda Lewis.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mandy Garland (Mandy Miller) is born without auditory nerves. Her parents, Harry (Terence Morgan) and Christine, aka Kit (Phillis Calvert), and her grandparents (Godfrey Tearle and Marjorie Fielding) keep her sheltered from the world, and by age six she's desperately lonely and doesn't know any language, despite efforts to teach her fingerspelling. Kit enrolls her in the Bishop David School for the Deaf, which focuses on teaching kids to speak. Headmaster Dick Searle (Jack Hawkins), new teacher Miss Crocker (Patricia Plunkett), and deaf founder Jane Ellis (Nancy Price) work to teach Mandy, but Harry disapproves of Kit's decision to place her in the school and fights to get her taken back out. Obstructive Bureaucrat Ackland (Edward Chapman) takes advantage of the minor scandal to try to steal Searle's job.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Kids Are Cruel: Almost every interaction Mandy has with hearing kids is unpleasant. At one point, a boy takes her ball and won't give it back until she says "please." When she can't, he plays piggie in the middle with his friend, taunting her with it, until she attacks him and pulls his hair.

Boarding School: The Bishop David school is normally this, but Mandy adjusts so badly to campus life that Searle takes advantage of a loophole to let her live in a nearby apartment with Kit.

First Friend: An unnamed deaf girl is the first child to show kindness to Mandy, giving her a necklace made out of clay and later waving to her in the dorm at night.
