At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This fantastic TV Movie made in 1979-80 still holds its place as the Best TV Movie ever made. The production values are fabulous, the cinematography awesome, the music score perfect, the casting magnificent, the pacing on track and the story emotional and very involving. Initially I video taped it, cutting out commercials, and that print was very imperfect. Years later I bought the VHS video version and the picture quality was quite poor with dirt specks and impurities and a very faded, sepia toned print. This film should be on the list for film preservation and remastering. It is a classic and I agree with those of you who say it is the best version to date, as I've seen the others and they pale in comparison. The DVD on Blu-Ray or regular would sell like hotcakes if it were properly marketed and there's a huge whole new audience out there who'd absolutely love it! There is a Website for TV Series Wanted on DVD, but sadly, no such forum for Movies Wanted on DVD. I have a List on my Website at: King Spud's Movie & TV Pages of many great films not yet released on DVD. Someone has been peeking at it as some very obscure films I listed have been produced on DVD. I just wish I could get All of those who own the rights to check out my List. Til then we can hope for the DVD or Hallmark Channel and other cable networks to run it again.

Without a doubt the best of the Fauntleroy pictures. Gives a feeling of the mothers role and his generosity. At the end w/o a doubt grabs the viewers attention. Although earlier versions were also good this one was meant for a Christmas Movie and your heart will go out to The Mother and son. From the time he begun his journey from NYC and buying gifts for his friends. To his love for his mom and understanding how his grandfather needs him. lord Fauntleroy shows us how he truly is a leader. He gets people to love his grandfather and shows his love to the people though his understanding of their plight. His Mother is shown in the movie as truly a great lady. This version goes into detail on how she cares for the people. In the earlier releases we are or can only assume she is caring for the people. In this one we can truly see how concerned she is by her awareness of the conditions around there. She not only gives care but also gives money and goods to help the needy. Lord Fauntleroy's greatest show of caring is not by his showing of love to his grandfather but more importantly by his feelings. The seen where he gives the crippled boy a ride on his new pony has to be a classic and truly shows what a great man he will be

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 28 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 story 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 Arpel
