Candleshoe is a 1977 American children's adventure comedy film, directed by Norman Tokar in a screenplay by David Swift and Rosemary Anne Sisson, produced by Walt Disney Productions, and distributed by Buena Vista. Based on the Michael Innes novel Christmas at Candleshoe (1953), the film stars Jodie Foster, David Niven, Helen Hayes (in her final film role), and Leo McKern. This was the last movie Foster was obliged to make under her contract for Disney, which also hindered her from starring as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise.
