What happens
The Mudlark is a 1950 film starring Irene Dunne, Alec Guinness and Andrew Ray. Filmed in Great Britain by Twentieth Century-Fox, it is a fictional account of how Queen Victoria emerged from a period of mourning for her dead husband, Prince Albert. The film was directed by Jean Negulesco, written and produced by Nunnally Johnson and based on the 1949 novel of the same name by American artillery sergeant, San Francisco newspaperman, Los Angeles Times reporter and film-studio publicist Theodore Bonnet. The film's title refers to mudlarks, street children who survived by scavenging and selling what they could find on the banks of the River Thames. The film was a hit in Britain and made an overnight star of Andrew Ray, who played the title character. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
