Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936)
American Drama.
After the death of Cedric’s (Freddie Bartholomew) English father, he and his mother, (Dolores Costello) live together in Brooklyn.
Cedric’s grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, (C. Aubrey Smith) had disowned Cedric’s father when he married an American, but when the Earl’s remaining son dies, he accepts Cedric as Lord Fauntleroy, his heir, and the Earl sends for Cedric and his mother.
Cedric uses the first of his newly found wealth to do some favors for his old friends, and then heads to England, where he must try to overcome the Earl’s dislike for Cedric’s mother.
Little Lord Fauntleroy was the first film produced by Selznick International Pictures, created by David O. Selznick when he left Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
