Dudley Charles Carew (3 July 1903 – 22 March 1981) was an English journalist, writer, poet and film critic.
From 1945 until his retirement in 1963 he was the paper's film critic, and also wrote book reviews and amusing fourth leaders.
John Arlott wrote of him: It was, perhaps, unfortunate for Dudley Carew that his entry into cricket writing should have coincided with the rise of Neville Cardus.
If there had never been a Cardus, how highly should we have ranked one who wrote: "At the other end Gunn batted much as a man potters about a garden, digging his fork into a bed with an abstracted and absent-minded air..."Arlott also rated highly Carew's cricket novel, Son of Grief, saying: "It has its darknesses, but it is convincing, and its characters are rounded and credible."
Housman's A Shropshire Lad contains the lines: Now in Maytime to the wicket Out I march with bat and pad: See the son of grief at cricket Trying to be glad.
