Description
Sam’s Boy
Sam’s Boy is adapted by Lydia Hayward from one of the stories of W. W. Jacobs whose pet subject was the marine life or as Punch sardonically put it "men who go down to the sea in ships of moderate tonnage". Filmed in the Thames estuary and on the Kentish coast this is a charming tale of an urchin in need of a father.
