Once Upon a Main Street (2020)

As each bid has its merits–hers all cash, his above asking–the real-estate agent must consult with the property owner who has the final say. Amelia and Vic separately have the same idea to discover the property owner’s identity and make a personal plea directly to him: Elder Dubois, who lives an hour away in Castle Creek.

Tři oříšky pro Popelku (1973)

A royal prince and heir shows little interest in politics or marriage, so his parents stage a ball to find him a suitable match. The prince prefers prancing at the hunt in fields and woods with his courtier buddies. Hunting, he’s fascinated by a mysterious cocky youth crossbow-sharpshooter who keeps outclassing them in tree-climbing–and keeps eluding his royal party.

It turns out to be tomboy Popelka, whose stepmother shares nothing of the inheritance with her and has reduced her to being an unpaid servant at the lucrative estate manor. Popelka’s closest friend is her father’s stallion, who helps her greatly, as do the wishes granted by three magical hazelnuts.

When her stepmother and stepsisters cruelly crush her hopes to attend or at least watch the ball, she manages to intrude veiled and is followed how by the prince, who can’t resist such an atypical hunt.
