Saw someone say that we should be wearing a mashup of Victorian gothic and 80s fashion and now I am haunted by the image of an acid wash Little Lord Fauntleroy suit

I just finished The Little Fauntleroy—both novel and movie. It's a cute story about an adorably precocious little boy and his unconditional love for his mother ♥

Buster as Little Lord Fauntleroy in 1906

“In Cleveland, Buster gave an interview to the Plain Dealer denying he ever got hurt onstage and claiming he endured more pain in a Philadelphia barbershop than he ever felt at the hands of his old man. “The barber put the snippers, or whatever you call ’em, on the back of my neck an’ gee! they pulled. I yelled as loud as I could, an’ that’s pretty loud.” The article, headlined “BUSTER LAUGHS AT HIS BUMPS,” served as an announcement of sorts: “In a couple of weeks, Papa an’ me are goin’ to go out in a stock company for a short time. He thinks it would be good trainin’ for me. Mama says probably in some plays they’ll want to put curls on me an’ make me play little girl parts, but just let ’em try it! Not for Buster! Not for Buster!”

The real reason Joe Keaton sought the ease and security of a stock tour at a time when the family would normally be working the summer parks was that Myra was seven months pregnant with their third child. Before long, he was pressed into service for the first time as an actor, nearly fulfilling his mother’s prophecy of having to play “little girl parts.” The play was Little Lord Fauntleroy, and he did indeed portray the title character in shoulder-length curls, red velveteen, and lace. “My part alone was seventy-five solid typed pages,” he said. “In between, when I wasn’t Little Lord Fauntleroy, I was little Willie in East Lynne. East Lynne was four acts long, like most of the tear-jerkers in those days. Little Willie died in the third act. As the curtain went down, I’d rush backstage, slap on a Johnny Ray wig—that’s a bald-headed wig and some galways—and run back on stage again to do a rough and tumble with my father.” Despite the Herculean effort it took to learn his lines, Buster got bored with the role of Lord Fauntleroy and began injecting slapstick into what was otherwise a charming period drama, much to the fury of manager Fenberg”

Little Goblin Fauntleroy

I've been re-reading The Goblin Emperor (Katherine Addison) with a bit more care than I did the first time.

I cannot help but think of Frances Hodgson Burnett when I read it. Not in a sneering way, though I know it's fashionable to roll one's eyes at late Victorian pop literature. (Seriously, her success was like Stephen King or Jo Rowling) And God knows the lady had her flaws.

But...

I've read more than Little Lord Fauntleroy (which in the "kindness wins them over" part, the main character makes me think of the older book more than once), A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. You could put certain theme in those books as being Improving Literature for Children easily enough.

In many of her adult books -- thinking most of A Lady of Quality, T. Tembarom, The Head of the House of Coombe, and That Lass o' Lowrie's, you see very, very flawed (or wronged) people becoming deeply determined to take a path of kindness. There is this underlying theme basically boiling down to, "Kindness is more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

I was tagged by the wonderful @clove-pinks.

My nine favourite movies, in no particular order, are

The Scarlet Pimpernel (Clive Donner, 1982)

Les Misérables (Tom Hooper, 2012)

(I prefer the anniversary-recordings, but they are technically no movies, so I go with this one.)

Master and Commander (Peter Weier, 2003)

Spotlight (Tom McCarthy, 2015)

Little Lord Fauntleroy (Jack Gold, 1980)

Dead Poets Society (Peter Weir, 1989)

Star Wars Episode VI (Richard Marquand, 1983)

(I love all the Star Wars movies but Episode VI is simple such a worthy finale.)

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Nicholas Meyer, 1982)

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, 1996)

I think the bottom line here is that you can get me with either historical or with science-fiction movies. Bonus point if they feature Sir Alec Guinness and Russell Crowe, are directed by Peter Weir or were produced in the 1980’s.

Since all the people that I would tag appear to already have been tagged, I just invite everybody who might be interested to share their nine favourite movies with us. 😊
