Take 2: Whistle Down the Wind
Enduring family classic starring Hayley Mills/ as one of three siblings who believe a wanted criminal hiding out in their barn is actually the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Hayley Mills heads the mostly young cast of this enduring family classic - based on a book by her own mother Mary Hayley Bell. Mills plays Kathy, who along with her siblings Charlie and Nan (Alan Barnes and Diane Holbrook) come to believe that a criminal (Alan Bates) hiding out in their barn is actually the second coming of Jesus Christ. Bryan Forbes’ nuanced debut is shot with the children’s viewpoint in mind and showcases the naturalism of his young stars - who were mostly non-professional local schoolchildren - and the natural landscape of Lancashire where it was filmed. Forthright and full of heart.
