A LITTLE PRINCESS

A Little Princess is a 1995 American drama directed by Alfonso Cuarón and starring Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron, and Liam Cunningham.

Set during World War I, it focuses on a young girl who is forced to become a servant at her exclusive New York City boarding school by the headmistress after receiving news that her father was killed in combat. It was loosely based on the 1905 novel of the same title by Frances Hodgson Burnett, however this adaptation was more heavily influenced by the 1939 cinematic version starring Shirley Temple.
