LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY (DVD MOVIE)

LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY (DVD MOVIE): Set in the late 19th century, this David O. Selznick masterpiece brings Burnett s classic literary tale to life with a refreshing flair. Cedric Ceddie Erroll is an endearing Brooklyn boy who can hold his own in a street fight, often aided by ruffian sidekick Dick (Mickey Rooney). Dolores Costello Barrymore plays Erroll s mother and the widow of a titled Englishman. Her father-in-law is the aristocratic Earl of Dorincourt (C. Aubrey Smith), a man who loathes all Americans. When he discovers that Ceddie is the legal heir to his vast fortune, he insists that the boy live with him at his formal English estate. Erroll, called Little Lord Fauntleroy by everyone around him, balks at the restrictions of his new position in life. His winning personality eventually softens his grandfather s heart, and when a false heir to his title arrives, his American friends show up to save the day.
