The Ragman's Daughter is a 1972 British romantic crimedrama film directed by Harold Becker and adapted by Alan Sillitoe from his short story of the same name.[1] It was Becker's first film during the 1970s and stars Simon Rouse and, in her screen debut, Victoria Tennant. The film tells the story of the ill-fated love between Tony, a petty thief from a working-class family, and Doris, the daughter of an upwardly mobile scrap dealer.
