Casey Brown est une jeune orpheline qui vit de petits larcins. Véritable garçon manqué, à l'éducation plus que légère, elle fait un jour la connaissance d'Harry Bundage, petit escroc minable, qui l'embarque dans une de ses arnaques. Celui-ci s'est en effet mis en tête de mettre la main sur le fabuleux trésor caché au cœur du Manoir de Candleshoe. Pour arriver à ses fins, il compte utiliser l'enfant pour duper la propriétaire, Lady St. Esmund, une vieille femme à la recherche de sa petite-fille disparue des années auparavant. Usurpatrice involontaire, Casey doit alors chercher les indices menant à la fortune, tout en veillant à ne pas éveiller les soupçons des autres habitants des lieux, des orphelins recueillis par Lady St. Edmund, au majordome Priory...

I enjoyed this. 'Candleshoe' starts in a greater manner than it finishes, but the full duration is entertaining. The early scenes are, for this era of Disney live-action at least, actually quite unusual, I wasn't fully sure where the story was going at first - which is a positive. Once everything becomes clearer, it does lose the slight edge it has at the beginning. The cast, meanwhile, are very good. Jodie Foster (Casey) gives another strong performance from her early years, while David Niven is excellent as Priory. Leo McKern is also splendid in his role as Harry. They all work together really well. Elsewhere, you have some nice music from Ron Goodwin. My only criticism would be the end few scenes, which round off all too quickly and don't show important parts to portray how they exactly got to where they are; notably between Casey and Gwendolyn. That aside, I'd certainly recommend this.
Classic Disney movie which I grew up watching. Jodie Foster is great and David Niven is fantastic!!!
