Alec Guinness version of Little Lord Fauntleroy. |
|
This version starring Alec Guinness is clearly superior to the original. The story doesn't get cut off at the end as in the American original to keep it within the time limits, in short it is a quality English movie. This is a copy from a tape as it was never made as a DVD, too bad, some quality is lost. I would rate the DVD as good overall; quality script, actors, settings, color photography, but the sound was weak in places. Service was prompt. |

A Christmas Classic That Should Be On DVD! |
|
Although the original movie version of Little Lord Fauntleroy starring Freddie Barthalomew is very charming in it's own right, it is by far superceded by this version starring Ricky Schroeder and Alec Guiness, especially since this version is rewritten as a Christmas story. Up until 2004 this was the movie I always watched on Christmas Day! Then I had a house fire that resulted in the heat damage of all my VHS tapes. Since I now have gone strictly to the DVD format, I have been searching for all of my favorite videos on DVD. Of the dozen or so videos that are yet to appear on DVD this is the one that is at the very top of my list! As part of the acting legacy of the late Sir Alec Guiness, this movie should be a must DVD for all of his fans! Also, as an added bonus for Star Trek fans, Patrick Stewart makes a very nice cameo appearance in this movie before he became Captain Picard. Finally, I believe one of the writers-producers, Blanche Hanalis, of the 1970's Little House On The Prairie TV series was also behind the making of this movie, which was originally presented by Hallmark as part of its Gold Crown Entertainment series. This movie is definitely family entertainment and a story with a moral message at its best! My Christmases will never feel complete until I own this treasure of a movie again! |

Little Lord Fauntleroy |

Our family watched this movie on television years ago. I taped it for my children and we watched it over and over again. It is quite an old version, but worth seeing. Ricky Schroder as a child is the main character, he is charming. I have searced for this particular movie for years, remembering how good it was years ago. It teaches valuable lessons, for adults and children as well. Little Lord Fauntleroy changes the hearts of many with his love and kindness toward everyone. Your family would love it, ours does. I highly recommend it. |

Little Lord Fauntleroy |
The Alec Guinness/Ricky Schroder version was so beautifully filmed, that the scenery and costuming become a member of this stellar case. I watched this (made for TV) movie when it first aired, and have been amazed that such an elaborate production has not become a yearly tradition. To my knowledge it has never aired but the one time--what a waste and what a pity. I search the TV listings each year.
I am forced to watch our extended-play, grainy VHS copy--the beauty of this story has become a family favorite. Christmas would not be Christmas without seeing it.
The story is perdictable--from the start you know all will turn out well. In the best Dickens-ist tradition. Bad is turned into good, eventually. You willing gallup along anyway because the cast captures the roles so comvincingly and the beauty is equally captivating.
What will it take to have this movie released on a remastered DVD? This holiday season do yourself a favor and ferret out a copy--Then kick back and let the Christmad spirit wash over you.
I don't promise any surprises, but you might find yourself drawn into the faithful circle that believe this film is among the very best of Christmas stories filmed.

Great Xmas Movie |
|
This movie has become a Xmas tradition around our house. The cinematography is superb, as is the casting. I always end up reaching for the Kleenex box before the end! I would really like it in DVD since my VHS copy is wearing out. |
