Default Answered: The Scamp *solved*
I am struggling to remember the title of one of Dickie's films.
It has aired on TV a couple of times in the past.

I just know that the answer will be supplied by one of you out there.
He plays a guy who fosters (or at least gives a home to) a troublesome young boy, resisting the attempts of the authorities to take the youngster away to a bad boy's home. He desperately tries to coax the boy back onto the straight and narrow.

I've checked through his movies on IMDB, but none rings a bell.
I know his car was a Hillman Minx, which is why I'm trying to trace the movie.

Cheers Bats

How did I know that you would come up with the answer!!

Just checked IMDB again and it's there on the list. There is no synopsis, but I should have guessed from the title.

Thanks again
