Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936) is a family drama directed by John S. Robertson, based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The story follows Cedric Errol (played by Freddie Bartholomew), a kind-hearted young boy living in New York with his mother. When Cedric learns that he is the heir to an English title and a vast estate, he travels to England to meet his grouchy grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt (Claude Rains). Despite the grandfather’s initial coldness, Cedric’s charm and compassion slowly win him over. The film is a heartwarming tale of family, inheritance, and the power of kindness.
