I
love this movie. It is a made for TV film. It ends with a Christmas
feast, making it Christmas movie. Little Lord Fauntleroy is raised by
an American mother, in humble circumstances. It is when he is a bit
older, and his brother and uncles have all passed away that he discovers
he is a Lord, the son of an Earl. His mother agrees to take him to
England so he can take is rightful place, be educated. However the earl
does not want to invite the mother into his home. She agrees only on
the understanding that nobody tell her son why she lives in a separate
cottage.
The
Earl has it in his heart to change the little lord, however things do
not work out that way. Little Lord Fontelroy is smarter than he looks.
He does good deeds and blames them on his grandfather. Eventually this
makes an impression on the tenants and people in the community. It
also has an effect on the Earl, and eventually his heart is melted.
Alec Guinness stars as the earl and Ricky Schroder as Little Lord Fauntleroy.
