The Wonder Kid (UK-import)
This wonderfully warm and moving drama features Bobby Henrey, the young star of Carol Reed's The Fallen Idol , Muriel Aked and Oscar nominee Oskar Werner in the story of an exploited child prodigy whose unhappy existence is transformed by the daring plan of his loving governess. Featuring Robert Krasker's gorgeous cinematography, The Wonder Kid is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Orphan Sebastian Giro, a famous and gifted child pianist, leads an unnatural, highly restricted existence in the clutches of his crooked manager, Mr Gorik. When Miss Frisbie, Sebastian's elderly English governess, confronts Gorik about his activities, he threatens to dismiss her from her position. Undaunted, the kindly old lady enlists the help of a gang of small-time crooks, and plots a dramatic ruse that will change Sebastian's life forever...
