Who Has Seen the Wind is a 1977 Canadian drama film directed by Allan King and written by Patricia Watson.[2] The film is an adaptation of W. O. Mitchell's influential novel Who Has Seen the Wind. It was the first narrative feature film ever directed by King, who was previously known primarily as a documentary filmmaker.[3]
The film stars Brian Painchaud as Brian O'Connall, with a supporting cast including Douglas Junor, Patricia Hamilton, Gordon Pinsent, Helen Shaver, Chapelle Jaffe, Charmion King, Leslie Carlson, Hugh Webster and José Ferrer.
Although Painchaud received positive critical attention for his performance, it was the only film he ever made before his death in 1986.
