Whistle Down The Wind (1961)

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism.

Rapidly running out of British Easter themed movies, Scott is joined by Steven for the tenuously linked Whistle Down The Wind (1961).

After a confusing exchange with a strange man (Alan Bates) they find hiding in their family barn, Kathy Bostock (Hayley Mills) and her young siblings jump to the conclusion that the man -- in reality an escaped killer -- is none other than Jesus Christ. Excitement erupts as word spreads among the children in their small farming community in northwest England. Adult scepticism abounds, until their father (Bernard Lee) catches wind of the tale and begins to investigate.

“He’s not Jesus…he’s just a fella”
