A novel by Douglas Walshe was the source of the British meller Girl of London. Genevieve Townsend plays Lil, the much abused stepdaughter of narcotics-ring head George Duncan (Harvey Braban). Lil is rescued from iniquity by Peter Horniman (Ian Hunter), the disowned son of a British politician (Edward Irwin). Together, Lil and Peter seek out a new life, despite the differences in their stations in life and their checkered pasts. Not exactly a textbook example of subtlety, Girl of London is given class and stature by the performances of its stars and the direction of Henry Edwards. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This fondly remembered British romance starred former child actress Alma Taylor as the daughter of a tinker who falls in love with a reclusive widower (Hugh Clifton) and the father of a little boy (G.H. Mulcaster). Melodrama reared its ugly head when the tinker's (John McAndrews) invention is stolen by his nefarious secretary (Lawrence Hanray), but director Cecil M. Hepworth concocted a nice happy ending. A 1914 American two-reeler featuring Pauline Bush and Lon Chaney may have been an earlier version of this story. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
