I love this movie. Well done and well acted - a wonderful family film, especially for Christmas. It is heartwarming, has beautiful scenes and is a fantastic movie for kids and adults. It holds a wonderful message, for the Christmas season and is just a joy to watch, with your family. This movie has become a favorite Christmas tradition, for my home, along with Rudolph and the Grinch. I wore my VHS tape out, to the point of it snapping apart. For some reason, it is hard to find on DVD or VHS, although it can be found...for a price. However, I found it on YouTube, for FREE, in it's entirety, with no interruptions. So, go to YouTube, download it, and ENJOY, before somebody removes it! There are a few online stores that carry it, on DVD, but it costs about $30, not including shipping. I would suggest just going to YouTube and downloading to a disc, for yourselves.

This film was released in 1980 (as stated), three years after my younger daughter was born. I taped it on TV, and she watched it avidly for many years. It became a milestone in our family life. Within a year of first seeing it, my daughter knew every line of the script, and we would watch her watching the movie, her lips moving, speaking all the parts...(she was of course, going to marry Ricky Schroder). She still has the tape, and even at 30 years of age, still watches it from time to time. But it is sadly worn, and like another reviewer, I too long for it to be re-released on DVD. It is a beautifully made story performed equally beautifully by a superb cast. It is an exiting tale for all ages, with a feel good ending reminiscent of a kinder and more gentle age. May it last forever, and if anyone knows where it may be purchased, either new on tape, or even if it has indeed been released on DVD...please, PLEASE let me know...Enjoy! Brian ArpelAugust 2011. I wrote in the above review, (written June 2007) that I hoped this movie would be, or had been released on DVD. I have since discovered that it was indeed released on DVD sometime in the 80's. It was only released as a 'give away' with a Sunday edition of one of the major London newspapers. It was never released, (to my knowledge), into the general retail area. I managed to track down two copies of the DVD in the USA, (from memory, I think it was on Amazon.com but I can't be sure). My daughter, now aged 34, who was around 7 at the time we were watching the video tape, recorded from TV, has one of the copies on DVD and I have the other.

This was 1 of the 1st movies I Saw Ricky Schroder in and it was 1 of His Best Movies. I Have Been A Fan Of His Since The 1st Movie I saw Him in (SINCE THE 1970'S). 1 Of The Reasons I Like This Movie is that it Tugs at Your HeartStrings. It Tells of a Young Boy Finding Out That His Dad was a Lord. And That He Should Not Be Living In the Pour Part Of Town But He Has A Castle to live in. And Family that he did not even Know He Had. And He Finally Gets To Meet His Long Lost Family. It Is A Wonderful Movie. Even Though it has been a While since I have Seen it I look forward To Watching it Again Someday SOON.And It is A Great Movie for the Whole Family To Watch Together(Mothers, Fathers,Children, Grandchildren,Aunts,Uncles,etc.) I Highly Recommend This Movie to Everyone So that they May Watch it andenjoy it Also. I Know Everyone Who likes Family Movies Or Awesome movies Will Truly Enjoy Watching this Movie. Everyone Rent and/Or Buy Little Lord Fauntleroy Today and watch it. You will Truly and whole heartily enjoy watching it. And I Know All The Ricky(Rick)Schroder Fans Out There Will Enjoy Seeing Him In it. And Seeing Him in his early Work and See that He has always been a GREAT and AWESOME Actor. And Now a Great Director. Congratulations for the Nomination for the whiskey Lullaby video director award Good Luck I hope you Win Rick.
