Can Anyone Help With These 70s Children's Films?

[Romany Jones.]

Where the kids threw their hair over the front of there faces to scare the adults...it disturbed me at the time....don't remember why as I don't remember much of it.
When some difficulties araised the kids would throw their hair over there faces and everything got spooky, the adults would recoil in horror, at some point the kids may of been in a court. 60s black and white film possibly.


And whilst we're here, there was a children's film foundation film early 70s, I think, where the kids pricked each others fingers so that they would be and remain blood brothers.
I think it might of starred Mandy Miller, her of the deaf film, Mandy fame.
May of been on a desert type island, all I remember is by pricking there fingers they would forever remain together.....of course then loads of drama ensued, including a drowning or something just as traumatic which upset me indeed.

Okay found the second film.....it was called Hand in Hand and was made in 1961 about A little Roman Catholic boy and a little Jewish girl become best friends despite the prejudice that surrounds them.
Had to have it imported from USA but it was worth it.

A classic, Golden Globe award-winning black-and-white film from 1960, Hand in Hand is a movie about friendship, religion, prejudice, and tolerance. Seven-year-olds Michael and Rachel are best friends who do everything together and who have vowed to remain friends "forever and ever and can't be parted for never and never." Unfortunately, the society that Michael and Rachel live in is one of religious intolerance. The fact that Michael is Irish Catholic and Rachel is Jewish is a point of conflict for just about everyone in the community. When the two young children are made aware of their ideological differences, it begins to tear apart their friendship, and they decide to test whose God is stronger. What they discover is that at the core, their religions really aren't that different from one another: both worship a God of love, not vengeance. This film is at once a charming and sobering look at America's past: a time when children commonly wandered about for days at a time with no fear of unknown adults, but also an era when people were shunned and discriminated against for their religious beliefs, and when women were thought to be inferior to men. For a 50-year-old film, this DVD version has a remarkably good picture and sound and is presented in widescreen format with optional English subtitles. There is much to be learned from this classic film, but also much to explain to younger viewers who may find it rather difficult to relate to. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
