Who Has Seen the Wind


Drama. Novel W.O. Mitchell
-Year: 1977
-Year in film: 1930s
-Country: Canada, UK
-Who in bibs: Brian 10
-Available on DVD: yes *
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: often ?
-Rating:  8/10 ?
-Rating: ********
-Comment: I think 10 or 11 yo Brian Painchaud as 10 yo Brian in blue bibs. Maybe more actors, probably men. According the movie poster riding scenes (maybe in bibs).

As previously announced at the series Jake and the Kid (1995), rating 7, also by W.O. Mitchell, now this entry.

Looks very good. 1930s Depression set in Saskatchewan. Another boy is Doug aka Douglas Junor as "The Young Ben" but probably not in bibs. I think I have to check the novels as well. Directed by Allan King.

There even seems to be a DVD release by learmedia, not sure about the quality and if it's a DVD-r. That isn't available anymore but an official DVD for $ 40 (see update)

I have to check this again later. Perfect Depression farm setting and handsome actors. For more infos and a link see Jake and the Kid.

Rating 8-9 for now.

Update, still rating 8, update 2 (also school scenes and raw denim)
