(Sweet and charming from start to finish)

(Mary was a little boy)

(A delightful and ever-popular classic)

(The Ideal Introduction To Mary Pickford.)

Based on the popular childrens' novel of the same name, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this is a very engrossing story that in a way transcends being a childrens' story. It takes place in 1885, starting in New York City and moving across the pond to England after young Cedric Errol (Little Lord Fauntleroy) is told that he is now a lord and next in line to become Earl of Dorincourt. Cedric and his mother Dearest aren't exactly well-off, but Cedric doesn't want to leave at first, even knowing it will greatly improve their social and financial status, because of how attached he is to the city, how much he wants to become President when he grows up, so he can help the less fortunate, the horrible things he's been told earls do, and how devoted he is to his three closest friends, Hobbs, a storekeeper, Mrs. McGinty, who sells apples, and Dick, who blackens boots.

After moving to England, Cedric, now Lord Fauntleroy, is rather upset at how his mother is forced to live in a cabin outside of the main estate instead of there in the castle with him and his grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt. "Grandfather Earl," as he calls him, never approved of the relationship Dearest and Cedric's father had, and originally didn't think very highly of Cedric himself either, but quickly lets down his reserve and finds himself incredibly charmed by his grandson. Cedric doesn't want to be the type of earl he's heard about back home, however, and uses his power and new position to help the less fortunate, like he would have done if he had become President when he was older. Things seem to be going swimmingly when all of a sudden it appears as though there might be another heir, with a more legitimate claim, which threatens to upturn the happy secure new life Cedric has made for himself. His friends back home, however, are positive this cannot be, and do some research to try to right things before it might be too late.

This is really a charming story, and also serves as wholesome family entertainment, despite the old-fashioned story (it does take place in the nineteenth century, and really reflects that different society and era), though it does seem a bit chatty at times for a silent film. That is to be expected, though, seeing as it was based on a book and not just created solely or primarily for the screen. The musical score is also very lovely, and the special effects are really something. Dual roles had been played before, but not the same way you see here, such as when Cedric kisses his mother. This was before they had computers; they had to create all of these special effects, seemingly primitive today, without help from high-tech machines. Although I have to agree that you can't really forget that Cedric is being played by a woman, as much as she really gets into the role and acts like a little boy. It was one thing for Mary Pickford to play little girls and teenagers, but in this role you never really forget that she's actually a woman and not a little boy, as good as she is at it. She just looks too pretty, too womanly, for people to completely suspend disbelief and after awhile just lose track of the fact that she is in fact a woman.
Little Lord Fauntleroy is an enjoyable Mary Pickford film. It is unusual not so much because she plays two roles, she had done that already in Stella Maris, but because she plays a boy. The story, adapted from Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic of a young American boy going to England to claim his inheritance, is well told with lots of humour and sentiment. Pickford does well in her two roles of mother and son and the way she interacts with herself on screen is a delight to watch, especially when one knows that these special effects were all done in the camera. Her acting in the part of Cedric can hardly be faulted. She throws herself, sometimes literally, into the part and does everything possible to transform herself into a little boy, but she is never truly convincing. This is not really the fault of her acting. Her mannerisms, her way of walking, her fights are all boyish, but she always looks just like Mary Pickford. In the end it has to be said that while Mary could transform herself into a little girl years younger than herself, she just could not make herself look like a little boy. She's far too beautiful and has too many curls. She remains, as always, the girl with the curls.

The black and white print on the Milestone DVD is pretty good. It seems to be complete and while there are quite a lot of scratches, this wear and tear is never really distracting. The image is clear and bright with a good amount of detail. I was generally pleased with how the film looks. The DVD has a good orchestral score by Nigel Holton, well played and appropriate to the mood of the film. As extras there are two photo galleries. Little Lord Fauntleroy may not be one of Pickford's very best films, but once you get used to Mary as a little boy, it becomes a lot of fun and essential viewing for her fans.

You can't go too wrong with a popular and much liked story like "Little Lord Fauntleroy" - the poor boy growing up in 19th century New York who learns he is heir to an earldom in England, and whose childlike charm and good-naturedness softens the heart of his embittered and grumpy grandfather. And who better to play the role than Mary Pickford who won the title of "America's Sweetheart" for her popular and pleasing personality, her impressive acting skills and roles that appeal to everyone. In "Little Lord Fauntleroy", Mary showcases her brilliant talent for playing children - both girls and boys - as well as her versatility by also playing the role of the little lord's mother. The camera work for these scenes - mother and little lord together - is perfect, and overall this film is faultless with sharp, clear picture quality and a most beautiful orchestral score perfectly matched to the film. The scenes of the old English castle, village and surroundings are also perfect and a pleasure to behold, but above all it's Mary Pickford's charming and charismatic portrayal of the unassuming and loving Lord Fauntleroy that makes this film a real winner. Her expressive pantomime skills really bring the role of the young Lord come to life, and you won't mind one bit that she looks much more like a girl than a young boy. Next to "Stella Maris" in which she also plays dual roles very impressively, this is the best Pickford film I've seen so far, and I'm hoping that the other Pickford releases that Milestone Films has planned for later this year will be similarly enjoyable. There are slide shows of stills and other memorabilia on this DVD as well, making it an excellent Mary Pickford edition, and one that will surely appeal to many viewers.
The 1921 version of LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY was one of Mary Pickford's biggest hits and it's easy to see why. It features her in a dual role as the little lord and his mother giving her the opportunity to showcase her acting talent in two very different roles as well as letting us see the two types of parts she would play for the rest of her career. While split-screen roles had been done many times before (Pickford even did it in 1918's STELLA MARIS) seldom has it been done as well as it is here. Not only are the double exposures perfect but the perspectives used really highlight the difference between child and adult.

Mary was one of the most powerful people in Hollywood at that time and she always worked with the best technicians available. The sets are stunning, the lighting equally memorable and Charles Rosher's cinematography is in a class by itself. The direction is credited to Alfred E.Green and Mary's brother Jack (according to Mary he was the inspiration for her portrayal of Fauntleroy) but you can be sure that she did a lot of it herself without credit. Claude Gillingswater as the old Earl of Dorincourt gives a marvelous performance every bit the equal of C. Aubrey Smith and Alec Guiness in later versions. As wonderful as Mary's child performance is, I never once thought of her as a boy (I'm sure audiences in 1921 didn't either) but she definitely was the character of Fauntleroy so it really doesn't matter. Her work as the mother is just as good showing that she could play adult roles when she gave herself the opportunity.

Sadly it is that aspect of her acting which has been forgotten over the years. Milestone's release this year of several Pickford films in restored editions to go along with those already available should help to rectify this oversight and return Pickford to her rightful place as one of the silent screen's top performers and not just "Little Mary", the good little girl caricature that most people think of her as today.

The film isn't perfect as some of Mary's concessions to her 1920's audience like the fight at the end seem out of place with the rest of the picture. Nevertheless LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY is the ideal introduction to Mary Pickford for those of you not familiar with her work while it gives those of us who are one of her best vehicles in beautiful condition. Special mention should be made of the fine orchestral score that Nigel Holton has provided for the film. Thanks again to Milestone Films and The Mary Pickford Foundation for making this and other Pickford releases available on home video.
Fortunes change dramatically for little Cedric, a poor American boy living in 1880s New York, when he unexpectedly inherits a British fortune. He and his mother, known as "Dearest," are sent to England to live with the cold and unsentimental earl who oversees Cedric's newfound wealth. To keep his wealth, Cedric must conquer the Earl's heart and fight off an unexpected claimant to his new fortune. A highly influential film in its day, this family classic remains an extraordinarily entertaining and fascinating look at old New York and the English artistocracy. Mary Pickford exhibits her remarkable range as an actress by playing both Cedric (inspired by her brother Jack's joy of mischief and her husband Douglas Fairbanks' swagger) and his mother, the gentle and beautiful Dearest. Also on display is the enormous talent of cameraman Charles Rosher (Sunrise) who created all the double exposure shots in which mother and son appear in the same scene. One of Mary Pickford's most lavish productions, this is still considered the finest adaptation of Frances Hodgeson Burnett's classic novel.

(A fizzy fun cottoncandy kind of film!)

(Kate has the best hair!!)

(Adam, it seems, has a BIG problem ...)

(About Adam)

(There is no snake in this Garden of Eden !)

My partner was a bit disturbed by the proceedings of "About Adam". Too much deception for his tastes, but I don't think one can take the story of this film too seriously. It's about Adam, of course, this gorgeous guy (played by the gorgeous Stuart Townsend) who meets and becomes involved with the lovely Lucy (played by the lovely Kate Hudson, who has a wonderful singing voice that she gets to display in the flick). It's also about Lucy's two sisters and her brother and how they get to know her new boyfriend. Frances O'Connor delivers a terrific performance as Lucy's bookwormish sister who evolves into a new person as the film goes along. And I mustn't forget to mention that the film was filmed in Ireland (Dublin to be exact) and the accents are all quite believable.

"About Adam" is not a groundbreaking film, but it does offer some nice comic performances--and I enjoyed the way the writer/director Gerard Stembridge sets up the film from many different points of view. It's light entertainment, and sometimes you just want to curl up on the couch with just such a movie. At least I do.
Okay, this was a funny movie that had a great plot and developed characters, but I'll admit that wasn't the thing I love most about this movie. Kate Hudson's character has the best clothes and cutest hair in this movie. She has a zillion costume changes and I looked forward to seeing what she'd wear next. If you're not that into clothes, watch it for its humor and wit.
... he can't seem to keep his zipper up! Now in real life, this would be a problem. But in the movies, this sort of thing can be very funny, for a person with an open mind such as myself. Adam shags basically anyone with 2 legs - dudes are not excluded. Stuart Townsend smiles, smirks, grins, his way through this entire movie, looking like he's having the time of his life while doing so. We find out at the end of the movie why he is the way he is. His simple statement of fact: "It just makes me happy to make other people happy". Hey, I'm all for that, and though I wouldn't go around humping people to prove my point, I'm all for helping my fellow man :)

I really liked this movie, a friend recommended it to me, and I'm glad she did. I think it is very good, I'm not sure I would call it excellent, but I did enjoy it very much, and was worth the price to buy&own.
I purchased this movie before I had ever seen it only because it starred Stewart Townsend, because every time I watch him as Lestat in Queen of the Damned I wish it was my neck he was sucking... I had high hopes for this movie because of Stewart and Kate Hudson, but it was not exactly what I expected. It was not a horrible movie, but it made me look at my sisters relationships with my other half in a whole new light! It is an okay pick for a Sunday night flick, but I have only watched it once if that tells you anything.
How can we be a perfect catholic in the days of contraception ? One way, and only one : share and share and share again, and then love and love and love again, in three words« share your love ». The man, lover and future husband of one sister is to be shared in mutual ignorance and perfect communion with the two other sisters, a little bit with the brother, and even a little bit more with the brother's would-be girlfriend and even a little tiny bit more or less with the mother of them all. It's a comedy but it is not at all hilarious, just comfortable, cosy and even kind of quaint, quaint like in Boccaccio or Chaucer. The best part of this film is that it is absolutely and deeply sexy and yet you will not see one breast, you will not even see the shape of any sexual attribute, you will hardly see any skin, and yet you will be moved in the deepest depth of your sensual excitement and excitation, in one word you will irresistibly desire and want and wish to meet that Adam and have a conversation with him, no matter what, and let fate and destiny and predestination decide whatever may happen later on. Be sure you will be absolutely flawless afterward because all that will feel, taste and sound absolutely pure, virginal and pristinely chaste, even and especially if it is nothing but exactly the reverse, in your mind, in your bed, or his, and even in yourlingerie, or shall we say skin-clothing. This feeling is probably the best feeling such a light and superficial film can nurture in you. At least it is good for your general balance : you feel as if you were floating - mentally, spiritually and metaphorically - in the boat of your mother's uterus again.

If you think that the only thing impish Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) lacks is a lilting Irish accent, this movie is for you. InAbout AdamHudson plays Lucy, the youngest daughter of a middle-class Irish family, who thinks she's found the perfect guy. Adam (Stuart Townsend) not only brings flowers and takes her on romantic getaways, he even gets along with her family. Just at the moment when the sweetness of their romance seems intolerable, it turns out that he's also been romancing Lucy's sister Laura (Frances O'Connor fromMansfield ParkandA.I.), for whom he's constructed an entirely different personality. And this is only the first of a series of secrets unveiled and eventually uncovered by the third sister, Alice (Charlotte Bradley). The story ofAbout Adamisn't particularly believable, but its entertaining exploration of desire and self-delusion rings true.--Bret Fetzer

(Charms for the Easy Life)

(Charming!)

(Deserves 10 Stars)

(Charming!)

(Fascinating character study.)

I am ordering the DVD today. I have the book, and have read it over and over and over, since 1999. It is charming, and wonderful, and even better than reading it, is listening to Kaye Gibbons read it on audio tape. I have worn my tape out listening to it so many times. Kaye's voice makes the characters come alive, and her North Carolinian accent is simply beautiful. If you haven't read the book, get it today! You will fall in love with these 3 women, and Kaye Gibbons style of story-telling!
I love this movie. It's a simple story, full of the charm and humor of family life. And with three strong female leads - who could ask for more?
This is a truly exceptional film. Loved it from start to finish. I'm quite surprised that I had not heard of it before. It is in parts humurous, romantic, dramatic and sad. If you loved "Fried Green Tomatoes" as I did, you will enjoy this tale of Southern women from the WWII era. This is a movie that the entire family can enjoy as there was no cursing or sex.

The relationship between the three generation of women was portrayed with great honesty and affection. And although some of the men were portrayed as nitwits, in the end, it showcased two beautiful love stories.

The actress who portrayed "Margaret" has a gorgeous smile. She did an excellent job as did the rest of the cast.
If you love films about strong women and what they can accomplish throughout the generations this flick is for you.

The great Gena Rowlands stars as a homeopathic healer whose strength and spirit runs her town and family ragged. She compassionately treats a town of people with herbs and treatments made from love while watching over her daughter and granddaughter like a hawk. The daughter is played by Mimi Rogers, her character is a flirty frilly woman always in search of love and not very interested in medicine. The granddaughter is played very well by Susan May Pratt and she is the family member who ends up following in her grandmother's footsteps. The relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter is truly touching and inspirational. The strength of all of the women is to be admired especially because the film takes place during the 40's and WWII when women were still expected to be mothers, housekeepers and cooks rather than professional independent women on their own.

Rowlands steals this film away and will leave you wishing for a grandmother just like her. The beauty of this movie lies in the compassion and relationships in a family of women. I believe it will charm you into a new way of living.

This film surprised me in a lot of ways. The title makes it sound"fluffy"but there's a lot of punch in the story.

It's about 3 strong-willed women as they live their lives and interact with each other and the world around them. The grandmother, Charlie Kate (Gena Rowlands) is the pivot of the story. She's tough but not uncaring. She knows who she is and what she wants from life. Her daughter, Sophia (Mimi Rogers), is also strong but in a different way. Margaret (Susan May Pratt) is the granddaughter, who blends the best of her grandmother and mother.

There's a lot of humor in the film and a fair amount of pathos as well but it's neither a comedy nor depressing. There is a lot to admire in all 3 women and how they respond to each other and live their lives.

(Soooo funny!)

("If it weren't for Venetian blinds, it'd be curtains for us...")

(strains to be funny...)

(Poor Mr Martin)

(Crude ,vulgar and vigorous)

This is a REALLY funny movie, from the very beginning! Kim Novak is awesome, as usual, and Ray Walston is absolutely hilarious! Seems a little ahead of it's time, a surprising twist, totally enjoyable!
Billy Wilder's most notorious flop, KISS ME STUPID (1964) was one of the first mainstream Hollywood movies to deal with the risque subject of partner-swapping. Dean Martin is the top-billed star (his character is very much a supporting one); but the film belongs to the sublime comic talents of Ray Walston and a surprisingly mellow, downbeat Kim Novak.

In the small town of Climax, Nevada, struggling songwriter Orville Spooner (Ray Walston) and his friend Barney (Cliff Osmond) attempt to trap visiting singer Dino (Dean Martin) into covering one of their pop songs. To sweeten the deal, Orville sidelines his wife Zelda (Felicia Farr) and substitutes local good-time gal Polly "The Pistol" (Kim Novak). Complications arise when Orville and Polly start taking their married couple act a little too seriously; and a drunken Zelda accidentally spends t
