Summary: Great Film! HORRIBLE DVD transfer!
Review: I have the film on VHS and DVD. I only bought the DVD version because I thought it would be cleaned up. What a waste of money! The overall look is more grainy than the VHS tape and the missing scenes? Several scenes are missing or have been severely edited. Stay with the VHS tape until they can redo the DVD.

Summary: Poor quality....too bad.
Review: I love this story but was very disappointed the poor quality of the DVD version. It was transferred directly from a film in poor condition. You can see lint, white spots and lines all through the movie. The scenes are very dark around the edges. Like they say, you get what you pay for. No wonder the price was so cheap. Why don't they stop people from selling such poorly done DVD's on-line? Guess the word just has to get out to watch out for certain companies. Well you are duly warned about this one. I don't know about the out 2 versions on this website, but they were out of stock anyway.

Summary: The 1980 version
Review: I, like the rest of you, am searching for the 1980 remake. We watch the VHS tape every year at Christmas, but it is worn out... Does anyone know who made the 80s version? Perhaps we could contact the movie company? Any ideas?

Summary: Original story comes alive
Review: If you want to accurately compare the 1936 movie and the 1980 TV version of Little Lord Fauntleroy, I suggest you first read the story written by Francis Hodgson Burnett. The casting, characterization and dialogue in the 1936 movie is outstanding and is almost an exact visualization of the original story as written by Burnett. The strong point for the 1980 TV version is of course Alec Guiness. Unfortunately in the 1980 version "Dearest" is portrayed more or less as a feminist and Schroeder as Fauntleroy is - well too cute. Visual appealing, it is but another example of modern screen writers believing they can write the story better than the original author. If you have to choose, pick the 1936 new DVD version. You will not be disappointed.

Review: May I gently suggest that these other reviewers are missing the point. This delicate David O. Selznick production is brimming with lovely and innocent emotions that are all too out-of-fashion in today's cynical world. Each scene is carefully constructed, with wonderful, warm and kindly touches. Each part is beautifully acted, especially the young Freddie Bartholomew (a few years before another excellent role in Captains Courageous). And the story is one of redemption and good vs. meanness. If you can't handle sweet and sentimental emotions, then maybe this isn't for you--otherwise, these are old-fashioned people to adore!
