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.
Production
This production was British-made for Fox, shot at Denham Studios, featuring a "heavily made-up" Irene Dunne as Queen Victoria with Alec Guinness, "all fuss and business", as Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and the "scamp" boy, played by Andrew Ray, the 11-year-old son of comedian Ted Ray.
