I saw this movie on TV once, back in the 70's. I think it was in black and white. Around Christmas time, these kids find a man in a barn and think he might be Jesus. I think it turns out he is an escaped criminal and the police arrest him. Thanks for any help.

Whistle Down the Wind (1961) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055618/)

That's it! Thanks.

You're welcome.

What happened to the little boy in that movie? The performance he gave was better than outstanding yet he was never heard of again.
