Candleshoe (1977)

There's some dated gender stereotyping and at least one cringeworthy allusion to race, but Disney's Candleshoe is a classic family adventure in which a young Jodie Foster, a year on from her standout Taxi Driver performance, stars as a streetwise kid who inveigles her way into a family mansion by pretending to be a long-lost heir because she wants to get her hands on a hidden treasure.

A six-time Academy Award-winning historical drama screenwritten by Robert Bolt based on his play, A Man For All Seasons tells the story of Thomas More, the Lord High Chancellor of England from 1529 to 1532, who despite political pressure did not waver in his Catholic religious principles even when the desire for an heir with his mistress Anne Boleyn led King Henry VIII to usurp papal authority.
