Product Description:
Hayley Mills, Diane Holgate, and Alan Barnes, come across a bearded vagrant named Arthur Blakey (Alan Bates) sleeping in their barn. Upon awakening, the ill-tempered bum takes a look at the white-eyed kids and mutters the imprecation "Jesus Christ!" In their innocence, the children assume that Arthur is Jesus Christ, and they spread the word to their friends. In truth, he is an escaped killer. But when the authorities come around looking for him, the kids, remembering Christ's persecution, do their best to protect their far-from-deserving new friend. Though the material, based on a novel by Mary Hayley Bell (Hayley Mills's mother) could have been mawkish and obvious in other hands, Forbes handles the situation and the characters realistically; even the blatant New Testament symbolism is logically incorporated into the proceedings.

I ordered this movie recently, it's region 0, so it plays on any DVD player, and it's format is NTSC, so it plays in the USA. I was so pleased with it, I've been waiting for this forever. It's about a little girl who finds a man sleeping in her barn. He is a wanted criminal, and when he's found by her, he wakes up and is startled. She asks him what his name is and he replies, "Jesus Christ" and then he faints. Because he's injured, she takes care of him, and sneaks food into the barn for him. She thinks ... Read More
