PLOT It tells the Allegorical story of some Lancashire farm children who discover an escaped Convict hiding in a barn and believe him to be Jesus . The script was based on a Novel of the same name by Mary Hayley Bell and her daughter, Hayley Mills , played the leading role. Alan Bates , in his first film, played the man in the barn. Local schoolchildren from the villages around Clitheroe , Lancashire were used as extras and in particular children from Chatburn Primary School played the "disciples" in the film. The theme music from the film, by Malcolm Arnold , became a classic. In the late 1990s , ''Whistle Down the Wind'' was adapted into a Musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman . Highlight songs from the musical are "Whistle Down The Wind" and "Vaults of Heaven". SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
