Synopsis

Cedric "Ceddie" Errol lives in New York with his mother under difficult financial circumstances. The intelligent and well-liked boy forms close friendships with Mr. Hobbs, a shopkeeper, and Dick, a shoeshine boy. One day, Ceddie learns that he is to move to England to live with his grandfather, the Earl of Dorincourt, who is the father of Ceddie's late father. The earl, in need of an heir, plans to raise the boy at his castle as Lord Fauntleroy, but without his mother, as he has long resented his son's marriage to an American woman. Despite this hardship, Ceddie arrives in England with hope and quickly brings about a surprising transformation. Through his kindness and charm, the young lord manages to soften the heart of the gruff old earl, turning him into a generous and affectionate grandfather.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
