De Witte is a Belgian film of 1934 in black and white, directed by Jan Vanderheyden.

De Witte was the first Flemish film production with sound and at the same time it was also very successful.

[2] Weeks after the première in Antwerp's Cinema Colosseum the public kept coming to the picture.

The story describes the boyishnesses of Louis Verheyden, a white-haired rascal (usually nicknamed "de witte", meaning "the white one") in Zichem, a village at the countryside; in the film everything happens from the child's perspective.

Another adaptation with which the Church instead had difficulties was the minimalized role of the village priest.
