Candleshoe (1977)
7/10
Good Disney kids movie
26 June 2015
Casey Brown (Jodie Foster) is a foster kid and hustler in L.A. Con man Harry Bundage entices her to find Captain St. Edmund's treasure which he believes to be buried on the Candleshoe Estate in England. He tries to convince Lady St.Edmund that Casey is her long lost granddaughter. Priory (David Niven) is the butler. Along with four local orphans adopted by the Lady, he tries to maintain the flat-broke estate by scrounging up any extra cash.

It's a fine Disney family movie. Jodie Foster is a terrific tough kid as always. She was simply one of the best child actors around. The treasure hunt is really aimed at the little kid level. It is heart-warming with a little bit of humor.
