 Reviews: Whistle Down the Wind - Christianity Today Movies
Set in the rolling hills of Lancashire, England, Whistle Down the Wind contrasts the basic innocent faith of young children with the harsher worldly beliefs of adults when several children mistaken a man living in their countryside barn for Jesus Christ.
While adult authority figures close in on the Bostock property, the film captures the tender scene of children flowing down the surrounding hills, wanting to capture their own view of Jesus and perhaps stop his possible capture by the "grown-ups" they are certain are about to make a serious error.
Whistle Down the Wind is a classic film that keeps us entertained while asking us to look deeper into our own ability to remain open-minded to the presence of Christ in our midst and our own ability to still approach him with the spiritual innocence so immediately and richly present in young children.

 Alan Bates Film Archive: "Whistle Down the Wind"
It is Beaver Films' "Whistle Down the Wind," which appropriately had its local premiere at the Little Carnegie on Saturday.
We note that the timing was appropriate because the substance of this thoroughly charming film is evolved from the reverence and devotion of a group of English north-country farm children for their concept of Jesus Christ.
Forbes and to Richard Attenborough, who produced it; to Mary Hayley Bell, who not only wrote the story but is the mother of Hayley Mills, who plays the older girl in what is surely one of the most sturdy and eloquent performances of a sensitive child ever done.

Mark Shenton in his Theatre.com Review: “Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most American-flavoured musical may be Whistle Down the Wind, but it hits all the wrong notes in nearly every sense.
You can’t resist the remorseless tearjerker No Matter What or the sweet title song, but the rock pastiches are sub-standard, and the upbeat pop anthems sung by the ensemble of children jarringly anachronistic.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of Whistle Down the Wind ran out of puff at the box office in January 2001 after only two-and-a-half years.
Sporting his director's as well as his producer's hat, Bill Kenwright now attempts to give the show a second wind in the West End.
The shift means that Lloyd Webber can indulge his penchant for pastiche - the lively, if synthetic-sounding, score draws on gospel, soul, rock'n'roll, and revivalist chorale as well as the usual pop-opera.
