i really liked this movie and have seen it more than a few times..i am looking for a movie with a similar theme.. i saw this movie a long long time ago (incompletely ) but dint catch the name..

from what i remember of the story..
basic plot is same here too..guy falls in love with hearing impaired girl..
guy is not well off..struggling musician i think....doesnt not know sign language..after seeing girl in a telephone booth (not sure) is smitten and tries to get to know her..but soon realizes that she cant hear..so starts learning sign language..
girl is a teacher in a school for the hearing impaired..
girls mother is against such a union..drama ensues..
for some reason i thot the movie was british..i cud be wrong abt this..
the end has something to do with a live show and lights..

hope that was helpful

it wud be great if someone could tell me the title..

I think the movie you are thinking of is Voices starring Amy Irving.

Yeah I saw it many years ago when I was just a kid. I really liked it and would love to see it again, but I checked Amazon and even a used VHS of the movie is going for like $70!! I might have to wait and see if it comes out on DVD or something. Thanks for reminding me of this movie though:-)

It was helpful, but please don't call Deaf people heaing impaired. They can't stand being called that. I am hearing, but studying Sign Language and I know many Deaf people.

I wear 2 hearing aids. I AM hearing-impaired. I don't mind being called that. As for deaf people. That would be interesting to ask at the next ASL Social we have on the first Wednesday of the month here.
