Fine Dickensian tale of poor English waif who travels 20 miles by foot to Windsor castle to see his "mother", Queen Victoria. He sneaks into the castle, nibbles on some food, hides under the Queen's dining table then falls asleep. His snoring gives him away. He's mistaken for an Irish terrorist and imprisoned in the Tower of London. He manages to break into the private chambers once again and sets things straight with Victoria. Well acted by Irene Dunne as the Queen and Alec Guinness as the Prime Minister, who has a marvelous soliloquy in the House of Commons.
