Here is a short film based on "Oh Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lad", made in 1956 by the North Downs Cinematograph Society. Given that it's an old amateur production it's rather good, and its dream sequence is quite like the one in the Jonathan Miller/Michael Horden version of the 1960s. It has that eerie quality of spying on the characters that you get with some older films. Well worth a look.
