Hi, here are 3:

1. The Canadian Broadcasting Company made a very nice 1/2 hour film back
in 1973 that was beautifully photographed. It is still remarkably
pertinent. It was in the Nature of Things series, and called 'Out of the
Mouths of Babes' (narrated by Peter and Jill DeVilliers.)  It's
available from the Filmakers Library in NY:

2. There was a Nova film (1 hour) produced in Boston by WGBH for PBS,
called Babytalk.  I don't know if it is commercially available, as so
many of the Nova films are.

3. A language development film is in the current  Discovering Psychology
series, a telecourse hosted by Philip Zimbardo and available from PBS.
Number 6 of the series is called Language Development.  It's the second
half of the tape, preceded by a half hour program on child development.
I imagine the programs can be bought separately.
