Whistle Down the Wind

This Hayley Mills classic is based on a novella written by the actress's mother, who used her children as models for the story's three main characters. When she discovers a man (Alan Bates) hiding in her father's barn, precocious Kathy (Mills) asks him who he is. Exasperated, he replies, "Jesus Christ!" before fainting into unconsciousness, his utterance triggering a persistent local rumor that the Lord is living in the hayloft.
