Son of a Stranger is a 1957 British second feature ('B')[1] film directed by Ernest Morris and starring James Kenney, Ann Stephens and Victor Maddern.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The sheer incredibility of this melodrama in the high Victorian manner holds the attention.

The succession of long, static scenes (clearly a low-budget requirement) recalls less ambitious television productions.

Nothing is very convincing: the slum girl loses her fight against a Kensington accent, the rock'n'rollers in the squalid club are patently unable to rock'n'roll.

It is remarkable that, in the teeth of this ludicrous plot, James Kenney almost succeeds in making the main character convincing.
