Anybody into old movies starring Burt Lancaster and Judy Garland?

There was a movie from the early 1960s called "A Child is Waiting". This what make in the days when developmentally disabled children were routinely sent off to institutions to be "with their own kind". What was normal then would be VERY unacceptable now. The movie argues the case for institutionalizing disabled children as young as possible because society wouldn't accept them. Has anybody ever seen this movie?
