'The Queen of Sheba's Pearls' is a 2004 Swedish-British drama film set in England post WWII. Helena Bergström plays Nancy Ackerman who mysteriously arrives on the Pretty family doorstep. Ackerman looks eerily similar to Jack Bradley's James Hawkins mother who inexplicably died in an accident 8 years prior. The movie was produced by Colin Nutley who is married to Helena Bergström.
