Hi,
The only sceneI remember in this movie is the closing one where the villain accidentally falls or is somehow trapped in a canal lock and drowns. I believe it is set in the 1800’s, it is a British drama. I somehow seem to liken it to a Dickens type story.
Thanks
could it be The Mudlark?

maybe an adaptation of “Les Misérables”?
