REGARDING your article (LET, January 15) about the classic film, 'Whistle Down the Wind' being turned into a stage musical in America. The film was and always will be English, being set in Lancashire.
It works because it is so English and true to the lifestyle of the 1960s.
It is a gem, and a once-in-a-lifetime film. Others may try to change it, rearrange it, or move its setting to another country, but only the original will work. It is too English to alter.
