Richard Davies notes: > I believe Kodaly developed the system for teaching music to deaf children. > That was my thought, as well, related to the hearing aid worn by Truffaut's character. I could be quite wrong, but I tend to assume that the motif of deafness was most likely contributed by Truffaut. It also bears on his Dr. Itard character in THE WILD CHILD. I wonder if anyone knows why deafness was of such interest to Truffaut.
