FRIDAY AUGUST Uth, 1961 VIEWPOINT


T AST Friday was a great 1J occasion for Ribblesdale people for it marked the Northern charity premiere of “Whistle Down the Wind/’ which was, of course, shot chiefly on Pendleside.


Of major interest has been the fact that producer Richard Attenborough chose not only this locality in which to make the film, but also selected local children to take part.


Two of the children chosen have leading roles and ex­ cellent performances they give for newcomers to Aim­ iing. The other local children

“WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND” PREMIERE


Young stars share in triumph


TT was a proud moment for eight-year-old Alan Barnes J- and 10-year-old Diane Holgate, both of Chatburn, when they attended the Northern charity premiere of Whistle Down The Wind”at Burnley on Friday night. For they had leading roles in the film much of which was shot in the pendleside area. Other local children also took part -.in

n the film also acquit them­ selves well.


The making of the film in this area has certainly helped to put Clitheroe on the map, and other film producers may be encouraged to set up their cameras in Clithe­ roe and the surrounding dis­ trict. Ribblesdale and Bow- land are ideal in which to make films whose scripts call for picturesque Northern countryside.


Clitheroe, with its Castle and narrow streets, would no doubt serve some film com­ pany well. In the meantime, however, the borough takes pride in being associated with the making of a film which is receiving praise


from all quarters. * * =i-
