Default Unanswered: Pianist, storm and cliff

This is a repost from my introductory post. Over 40 (ouch!) years ago I came back from Sunday School and caught the end of a film on the Sunday Matinee which stuck in my mind.

All I could 'remember' was a house on a cliff, a storm, soaring piano music, and a 'blind' pianist who went out in the storm. It was a very dramatic ending but I was no older than eight at the time and my memory could be faulty.

Searching for films with a blind pianist never came to anything - and I'm wondering, after searching today, whether it could have been a sleepwalking pianist instead and whether the film could have been "Dream of Olwen" aka "While I Live"?

A bit more information:

It must have been shown on Tyne Tees no later than 1963.

I think I remember a woman playing the piano in a room with a lot of windows in a house on the top of a cliff - I thought the woman was blind but my memory could be faulty. I also got the feeling that she was driven out into the storm. On consideration it was a very melodramatic ending - which is probably why it's stuck in my mind for so long.

Hi Hilarie, my first thought was that it was a film with Tom Walls in it, and Dream of Olwen fits the bill
