“Iu0026#39;m not sure exactly why I love this film so much. Itu0026#39;s not like it has shockingly wonderful performances, story, or setting. But it never fails to warm my heart and make me smile.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFans of Jodie Foster will recognize her as the young teenage star of this film. She plays Casey, a foster child and juvenile delinquent. A British con man recognizes her as being strikingly similar to a young heiress who disappeared years earlier and offers her anything she wants if she will pretend to be the missing girl. He is certain that there is a treasure hidden in the house of the girlu0026#39;s grandmother, and he wants Casey to find it for him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story of how Casey becomes a part of this odd British family is heartwarming and sweet. It is classic Disney fare, without the pathetic romance that often destroys modern Disney films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch this film if only for David Nivenu0026#39;s performance as the butler, gardener, grandmotheru0026#39;s best friend, and chauffeur.”
