The Ragman's Daughter is a 1972 British crime–drama romantic film directed by Harold Becker. It was Becker's first film during the 1970s and stars Simon Rouse and in a screen debut, Victoria Tennant.
It is the story of Tony, a worker at a cheese factory who is also a petty thief. He proceeds from robbery to robbery until he meets Doris, his next door neighbor. Slowly, he falls in love with her and must decide whether he will stay a thief or start a new life with Doris. The story is set in Nottingham (England) which was author Alan Sillitoe's home-town.
