Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesRussell Birdwell worked on publicity for the film and devised a canvas sign stretching two miles of Washington Blvd. in Los Angeles, from the studio, past MGM towards the ocean. There had never been such a large sign advertising anything before and the feat was reported in newspapers worldwide.
- PatzerCeddie has an English accent; however, it is explained that he picked it up from his father who was English.
- Zitate
Earl of Dorincourt: [gazing down at Cedric, asleep] If anyone had ever told me I could be fond of a child, I wouldn't have believed them. I always detested children - my own more than most - but I'm fond of him... and, oddly enough, he's fond of me. You know, Havisham, I'm not popular - I never was - but he's fond of me, never was afraid of me, always trusted me. Yes, Havisham, he'd've filled my place... better than I've filled it. He'd have been an honor to the name.

In the score a bit at the beginning
Also watch for Sir C. Aubrey Smith as the definitive hostile old Lord Dorincourt, who is charmed and warmed by his newly-met half American grandson's unconditional love. Character actor Guy Kibbee also seems made to play staunch anti-aristocrat American Silas Hobbs. If you read the book (free online), the movie fits it well!
Did you know the book LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY was an incredible late 19th century "hit"? Some statesmen actually credit this tale of reconciliation between an old Earl and his half American grandson with improving the then-strained 19th century British-American relationship.
Drew Barrymore's grandmother Dolores Costello Barrymore plays Cedric's charming American Mother.
While this film needs a sound and picture cleanup, it is still worth the watch!(TO YOU FILM PEOPLE--LOTS OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS OLD FILM. CAN'T SOMEONE CLEAN UP THE PICTURE & SOUND?)
