Movie Description A triple bill of Mickey Rooney movies on one DVD:
LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY: Freddie Bartholomew (DAVID COPPERFIELD, CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS) plays Cedric Errol, a poor Brooklyn boy destined for greatness in this film based on the lovable story by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Although Ceddie doesn't know it, his deceased father was an English nobleman. When it becomes apparent that Ceddie is heir to an English title and an immense fortune, his mother (Dolores Costello Barrymore) takes him back to England, where they discover that her father-in-law, the earl of Dorincourt (C. Aubrey Smith), despises Americans. To win his birthright, Ceddie must struggle against false claims to his title as well as his grandfather's cantankerous disposition. Director John Cromwell (SO ENDS OUR NIGHT, OF HUMAN BONDAGE) at times considered LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY his finest film; with a graceful script by novelist Hugh Walpole, an excellent supporting cast, a buoyant sense of humor, and a gem of a performance from Bartholomew, he may well have been right.
LOVE LAUGHS AT ANDY HARDY: This is the final film of the original Andy Hardy series of the 1930-1940 era. In this one Andy returns to college after World War II. Features original cast.
THE BIG WHEEL: The ambitious son of an accomplished race driver struggles to outrun his father's legacy and achieve his own successes.
