Review: I saw this film as a kid and loved it, not even realizing that the great Alec Guiness was in it. Seeing it again, I relive the genuinely heartwarming rags-to-riches story of a young boy who turns out to be the only remaining heir to an earldom. The Earl is not warm to him because he was the product of marriage to a commoner, but gradually the boy wins the hearts of the entire aristocracy. But then a rival heir appears... This wonderful classic book is done ample justice by this charming film rendering.

Summary: Little Lord Fauntleroy with Alec Guiness and Rick Schroeder
Review: I would very much like to purchase the movie Little Lord Fauntleroy with Sir Alec Guiness. I am English and the castle featured in the movie is 1/2 mile from the house I grew up in, and is occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Rutland. I was a hairdresser back then, and I did the Duchess's hair when her regular haridresser was unavailable and cut her son's hair. The church featured is where my husband and I were married, and all the small villages were where I grew up. My father and I drove the road past Belvoir Castle every day to work. I would like it for my grandchildren to see part of their heritage.

Summary: Little Lord Fauntleroy
Review: Little Lord Fauntleroy is a story about a little American boy, Cedric who suddenly finds himself the heir-apparent to a title in England. His grandfather, the present Lord Fauntleroy, (who originally disowned the boy's now-dead father for marrying his American mother) sends for the boy to live with him. His faultless mother of course agrees to let him take this opportunity, while she goes to live in a nearby cottage.
Then a woman appears with a boy she claims to be the son of an older son, apparently displacing Cedric as heir. It is a testament to Little Lord Fauntleroy's sweetening effect that his grandfather unites with his mother to fight against this alternate claim (successfully, of course...this is no book for bittersweet endings--the good always triumph, the evil always meet they're downfall, and the good and the evil are always on opposite sides).
Enough sugar to gag a horse, but no story. From the start, the little boy is perfect...charitable, pretty, strong, and smart--but infinitely oblivious of others' defects. He does not grow or change. He does not wrestle with problems. He does not even realize there are problems. He is not a character--he's a pro-American fantasy.
The real protagonist is the present Lord, the boy's grandfather. His transition from conceited grump to true grandfather is mildly interesting. However, far too often Cedric's perfect little self takes center stage, constantly presenting himself to be admired by the other characters, who were not so fortunate as to be perfect or American.

Summary: Well done!
Review: Little Lord Fauntleroy stirred my emotions. Would I have let my seven-year-old live with his ill-tempered grandfather who despised me? Probably not! Yet as the story unfolded, I admired the wise words and kind ways of Fauntleroy's mother, Dearest. I empathized with the mother's caring for her only child and her concern for the poor and less fortunate. This book renewed my faith in goodness and kindness. It made me reflect on all that I have.
