Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936)

'Ceddie' Erroll (Freddie Bartholomew) and his widowed mother 'Dearest' (Dolores Costello) struggle to make ends meet in 1880s Brooklyn after the death of his father. Ceddie's prejudiced English grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt (C. Aubrey Smith), had disowned his son for marrying a despised American. However, the wealthy earl has Ceddie brought to England as his heir. 'Dearest' accompanies her son, but is not allowed to live at the family castle. For Ceddie's happiness, she does not tell him it is because of his grandfather's bigotry.
