Quotes:
Disraeli: Such proposals as slum clearance, public housing, educational facilities for the poor, are all wise and worthy measures and consequently will be opposed vigorously. The British are a proud and independent people, ma'am, and will not yield to improvement without a stout struggle. moreFAQ

Charming adaptation of a story that could very well have happened during the days of Victoria's reign after Prince Albert died.
I am not sure if it is a concoction of the imaginative author or not.
Either way, the heavyweight cast delivers as does the director and production -- and of course -- the charming Mudlark simply named "Wheeler". Here is a tale where our imaginations are treated to a fantasy of grand proportions. The comedy of errors during some scenes are enough to make us all giggle. Dunne and Guiness were wonderful!
I have not heard where Andrew Ray wound up. Does anyone know of his whereabouts?
This unlikely Anglophile gives it 10 thumbs up!
