Rating: - Will we ever see a Region 1 release?
"Whistle Down the Wind" is IMHO one of Hayley Mills' finest film interpretations from her vast film catalogue. Hayley provides a scintillating performance in a character of youthful innocence in a virtuous and somewhat obscure film. Will we ever be treated to this exemplary cinematic treasure in Region 1 North America?
Rating:  - Thought-provoking minor classic of British cinema
Stylistically, Whistle Down the Wind treads the centre between the sentimentalism of postwar British cinema and the stark realism of the sixties. The bleak Lancashire countryside is photographed with great ambience by Arthur Ibbetson (The Railway Children, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory).

Rating: - A Movie You Will Never Forget

It is the story of 3 children who believe the man that is hiding in their barn is Jesus. This isn't just a children's film. It is a thought provoking film. You have to see it to understand how good it really is. I would recommend that you order the original book from Amazon UK. The book has a slightly different ending. This film has spawned a popular musical ... Read More
