Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936)
Considered by many to be the best film adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1886 novel of the same name, said by Polly Hovarth to be "the Harry Potter of his time"- starring Freddie Bartholomew, Dolores Costello, and C. Aubrey Smith. A nine-year-old Brooklyn boy living in poverty, moves to England to live with an aristocratic grandfather he's never known after he is told he's heir to a British earldom.
