How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A wordless performance of remarkable warmth and vulnerability, Jackie Gleason's silent janitor finds unexpected grace in caring for a lonely child. It's a gentle, sometimes melancholic fable about how kindness can redeem the margins of Parisian life.
