This is the 2nd time I saw this marvelous film. And I cried seeing it because I was poor growing up. My mom was a seamstress and made clothes for me on a step pump sewing machine. To this very day when I see a Singer sewing machine. I see my mom pouring hours to make my clothes. God bless my mom for caring for me.
I have just watched this wonderful film. I have seen it before because I was seven years old when it was released. My dad was, I think, a fan of Alec Guinness. He took me to the Granada in Rugby to see Scrooge and he took me to see The Mudlark. I have never forgotten either film. I love them. The Mudlark had some kind of special resonance with me. I'm not sure why but it's done it again. I am deeply moved. Thank you so much for making it available from an eighty one year old who has always loved cinema and theatre. The beautiful face of Andrew Ray came back as freshly as if I only watched the film yesterday. It was in my teens, I developed an admiration for the handsome Anthony Steele. Was it West of Zanzibar he was in. Oh he was very good looking. Thank you. I say again, I love he Mudlark.
Hello, from Louisiana, U.S., Mr. Scottie. OMG, I loved this movie. Thank you so much for sharing such a gem. Hard to believe this is over 70 years old. So glad I ran across your channel. Look forward to more great movies!!! Again, thank you.
Have not seen this movie for more than 50 years. HD quality would have helped but still enjoyable. Andrew Ray is the wondrous little boy, Finlay Currie and Alec Guinness both fine as John Brown and Disraeli, but I think the American star, Irene Dunne, gives one of the best Victoria`s in screen history. She breathes life into this remarkable monarch, one of the most intelligent, perceptive and human queens in British history. Lovely stuff !
I remember seeing this on television when I was very young. I have not seen it for decades . Thank u for posting it . I remember Alec Guinness as Benjamin Disraeli
My mother grew up picking cotton and milking cows along with her brothers and sisters. In my early childhood I had many of my clothes made on her dad's Singer treadle sewing machine. I was a grown man before I realized just how poor we were.
Irene Dunn excelled in all her movies: comedy, drama; whatever. This was a very serious yet heart warming movie giving insight into The Victorian Era that aided by the likes of Charles Dickens shed light on the plight of England's long neglected children. Note: Irene Dunne did not win an Oscar, but she was nominated for Best Actress five times: 1949: I Remember Mama 1940: Love Affair 1938: The Awful Truth 1937: Best Actress in a Leading Role 1931: Best Actress in a Leading Role
I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I recognized the child actor from… Another film he was in as an adult. He has such a distinctive expression, and it carried into his adult life. Anyway it was really bugging me so I had to look him up and I finally remembered… He played in the legendary 1970s miniseries, “Upstairs Downstairs”. His character was the young and handsome Lt. Jack Dyson RFC. The episode he played in was titled, “If You Were the Only Girl in the World”. It was in season 4 and was episode 7. He is introduced in a scene in the morning room of 165 Eaton Place. It was during World War I, and a tea party for officers had been arranged in an effort to show hospitality to soldiers. Well Hazel’s marriage with James Bellamy was not going very well, he was treating her like dirt, so when she met this young lieutenant they were immediately attracted to each other and to make a long story short, they fell deeply in love. I think if the lieutenant would have survived the war (He was killed) she would have left James to marry him. I’m not condoning adultery but I have to be honest, it was really a touching episode, and later on after he died and James accidentally discovered that the relationship had taken place, he was unbelievably understanding and kind to Hazel, even though he never admitted to her that he knew about it. So as big a jerk as James was, he had a lot of good in him. Actor Andrew Ray did a great job in the role. A very fine performance. In my little search I discovered that Mr. Ray died at a fairly young age… I believe in 2003, Just 64, of a heart attack.
The rich come from the poor, and the clever comes from the fool. While being a poor, be rich too, in Thy heart, to be provide by the God's. Being a poor have to struggles in Thy life, through pains only, to somehow or anyhow gain on this earth. ❤ Better to become, a poor that've to struggles for everything in Thy life, like a heroes. To be as a rich persons, that always falls in Satan temptation because they've no satisfaction, in Thy life. ❤. Drama is fine, and the film is a good show. ❤. God bless and stay safe in God's protection on this world, on earth. Amen. ❤.
@rich8949 I find it had the perfect pace of scene and music, it's not The Matrix or such, which are wonderful type - films in their own right. If this is 'too slow', perhaps you have an undiagnosed attention deficit disorder/ dyslexic issue. Kindly
AN ABSOLUTE PEACH OF A MOVIE ❤❤
I love Ms. Irene, Mr. Alec & these classics. Gracias for uploading. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Sra Isa"

Wonderfull speech by Guines/ d Israeli. I love when truth and logic is so well spoken
Is it historical or fiction?
Sir Alec Guinness deserved an Academy Award for his single-take soliloquy in this movie.
Absolutely 💯
Wheeler was a wonderful little actor. He looked in awe without appearing artificial. Lovely movie yet again. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 74yrs

With these people you are actually seriously rich
I can’t BELIEVE that’s Irene Dunn! I would have never known.
She was very heavily made-up for the role including prosthetics but was hugely acclaimed for the movie 🎬 🎞

She was a tough one to convince....
It's A tough Gig

What year was this released❓
1950
@ScottieMcClue thank you
nice xxx
Thank You 😊 🙏
Lots of good comments about this movie. I find it has too many side stories and moves along very slowly even dinner scene too dramatic
Think big 🤔
@rich8949 I find it had the perfect pace of scene and music, it's not The Matrix or such, which are wonderful type - films in their own right.

This is a wonderful movie, but it would be great if it could be colorized.
Best left in black and white. Represents the grotiness of that era
