Movie Review

Title: Little Lord Fauntleroy. Children's movie/Miniseries drama. Rated- Family movie. Inspired by the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This is a moving tale about a fatherless, yet sweet American boy, Cedric Errol. He learns that due to the recent death of his uncle he is now to be the new lord, and future Earl of Dorincourt, in far away England. He has to leave his dear friends, a shoe shine boy and a grocer. But he keeps in touch in them with letters. Cedric is unaware of the animosity his grandfather holds for his kind mother. To his grandfather his mother is nothing more than an American gold-digger. But she is not. And she is too well breed to talk ill of his grandfather to him. Cecil journeys to England where he lives with his grandfather in his castle. He is allowed to visit his mother once a day. Because his grandfather dislikes his mother she has to live down the road. But she takes this in good grace. Due to the wonderful influence of his mother and his own considerate nature, Cedric changes lives. Including that of his cantankerous grandfather. But a new boy arrives with his haughty mother. She says she was married to Cedric's uncle, the one who died. Is her son the real Lord Fauntleroy? And what will happen to Cedric? You'll have to watch the movie, or the miniseries, and see. Note the last name of Cedric. It is Errol. I believe this was purposely done. I liked this movie as a child and I still like it today.
