Little Lord Fauntleroy

DramaFamily102 min

An American boy learns he is the heir to a British earldom and is sent to 1880s England to live with the grandfather he has never known. Freddie Bartholomew is Cedric, a child suddenly dropped into the rituals and rank of aristocratic life, while C. Aubrey Smith’s Earl is an irritable old nobleman unsettled by the grandson now at the center of his title and estate. Dolores Costello appears as Cedric’s mother, left outside that world as her son is drawn into an imposing household where class, inheritance, and family feeling are constantly in tension.
