It's 1875 and a young street urchin wants to see Queen Victoria...
Sinekatalog’s take
A tender Victorian tale of a ragged boy determined to glimpse the queen. Sentimental but sincere, with a lovely period feel. A fine pick for family viewers who like gentle costume stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
