The [one of them is rich. . .](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=803983) thread reminded me of a movie I saw on TV when I was very young. It stuck with me because I found the plot so strange. A mentally challenged girl runs away from home and ends up with a poor (possibly homeless) man with no legs and they fall in love. Towards the end we find out she comes from a very rich family who, I sort of vaguely remember, kind of locked her away in their big house because of her deficiency. I don’t know if it was originally made for TV, so it may be older but I saw it in the mid to late '70s. Any ideas? ---

You know, I thought I had asked this before but wasn’t sure. You’d think I’d remember asking it more than once! I blame all the alcohol I’ve consumed over the last 16 years. ETA: See you again right here in about 6 or 7 years. ---
