Whistle Down The Wind Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Childhood fave

When I was wee I used to watch this film over and over again and loved every minute of it!!!

Well having just watched it again years later I can tell you I love it just as much. Its amazing how much of it I remember and how vivid the dialogue and imagery are!!! I forgot how funny Charlie is; ' ya rotten cows' and 'me pully' being the most memorable quotes!! I even forgot the fact that Alan Bates' character was wanted for murder, but perhaps as an naive 6 year old I simply thought he was 'a bad man'? Who knows?

Unlike revisiting a lot of shows/films from childhood, Whistle down the wind didn't disappoint and was a great trip down memory lane!!!

I dare you not to whistle that tune for hours afterwards!!!

an absolute masterpiece!

if you haven't seen this movie before you need to rent it and see for yourself how great it is. yes it is an oldie in black and white but the performances of everybody in it are a wonder to behold. my favourite character has got to be Charles (played by Alan Barnes) who although only 6 gives the funniest most honest acting performance I have ever seen from a child. everytime I see it he never fails to make me laugh.. one scene where his dad asks what he's got under his coat and he reply's... 'me pully!' the performance of a lifetime at only 6!
