The film stars Freddie Bartholomew, Dolores Costello, and C. Aubrey Smith. The first film produced by David O. Selznick's Selznick International Pictures, it was the studio's most profitable film until Gone With the Wind. The film is directed by John Cromwell.\n\nPlot: Young Cedric \"Ceddie\" Errol (Freddie Bartholomew) and his widowed mother, whom he calls \"Dearest\" (Dolores Costello), live frugally in 1880s Brooklyn after the death of his father. Cedric's prejudiced English grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt (C. Aubrey Smith), had long ago disowned his son for marrying an American.\n\nThe earl sends his lawyer Havisham (Henry Stephenson) to bring Ceddie to England. As the earl's sons are all dead, Ceddie is the heir to the title. Mrs. Errol accompanies her son to England, but is not allowed to live at Dorincourt castle. For Cedric's happiness, she does not tell him it is because of his grandfather's bigotry. The earl's lawyer is impressed with the young widow's wisdom. However, the earl expresses skepticism when Mr. Havisham informs him that Cedric's mother will not accept an allowance from him.\n\nCedric soon wins the hearts of his stern grandfather and everyone else. The earl hosts a grand party to proudly introduce his grandson to British society, notably his sister Lady Constantia Lorridaile (Constance Collier).\n\nAfter the party, Havisham informs the Earl that Cedric is not the heir apparent after all. American Minna Tipton (Helen Flint) insists her son Tom (Jackie Searl) is the offspring of her late husband, the earl's eldest son. Heartbroken, the earl accepts her apparently valid claim, though Tom proves to be a rather obnoxious lad.\n\nFortunately for Ceddie, his friend Dick Tipton (Mickey Rooney) recognises Minna from her newspaper picture. He takes his brother Ben, Tom's real father, to England and disproves Minna's claim. The earl apologises to Ceddie's mother and invites her to live with the delighted Ceddie on his estate.\n\n---\n\nDirected by John Cromwell, produced y David O. Selznick, screenplay by Hugh Walpole, based on the novel \"Little Lord Fauntleroy\"\nby Frances Hodgson Burnett, starring Freddie Bartholomew as Cedric \"Ceddie\" Errol Lord Fauntleroy, Dolores Costello Barrymore as \"Dearest\" Errol, C.

Cedric’s life changes forever when he learns that he is the heir to a vast English estate and must travel to Britain to meet his estranged grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt (C. Aubrey Smith). Known for his sternness and disdain for Americans, the Earl initially resists Cedric’s presence. However, the boy’s innocence, charm, and unwavering kindness gradually soften his grandfather’s heart, bridging the gap between class, culture, and generations.\n\nAs Cedric adapts to aristocratic life, conflicts arise when questions of inheritance threaten his legitimacy. Yet his honesty and genuine character ultimately restore harmony, leaving a lasting impact on both his family and the estate.

The original print had seen better days and I haven't done any reprocessing beyond de-telecining , so be prepared for occasional dots, spots and jumpy images. Note for Microsoft Windows users Your version of Windows Media Player might not be able to handle MP4 containers such as the one offered here. If this is the case, the film can still can be played using the VLC media player or Apple Quicktime , both of which are free to download. I personally recommend VLC, as it is much more versatile and can do a better job with other formats that Windows Media Players does support. For example, VLC plays MP2 soundtracks embedded in AVI containers such as this one seamlessly, while Windows Media Player 10 just plays the video without any sound, leading some users to wrongly think that they downloaded a film with no soundtrack.
