Jacqueline is a 1956 British drama film directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring John Gregson and Kathleen Ryan. It was written by Patrick Kirwan and Liam O'Flaherty based on the 1954 novel The Grand Man by Catherine Cookson. It was filmed in Belfast.

Production

The film was based on the novel The Grand Man (1954) by Catherine Cookson. It was Cookson's fifth book. Cookson was paid £750 for the rights and a draft of the script. The film was set in Belfast as opposed to Tyneside which is where the novel was set. Cookson disliked the casting of Jacqueline Ryan in the lead role, feeling she was miscast.

Baker said "the picture was partly made because of the introduction at that time of the blue backing process which made back projection very much easier than the old-fashioned process but it had its teething problems and difficulties. So, I boldly was the first one to use it and it worked extremely well. Again, we had an extremely good cast."

Filmink argued the film was made due to the success of The Little Kidnappers.

Baker said John Gregson "was excellent for the part except he kept saying I wish I was Victor McLaglen because it needed a great big hunk of a man and John wasn't." The movie featured Tony Wright in an early role.

Jacqueline Ryan was the daughter of Phyllis Ryan, an actor and later manager.
