Help! What was the name of that movie that Steve Martin played in, where he raised a little girl, who turned out to be the daughter of someone rich and influential?

It had that one scene in it where he used his balloon invention to snatch her off the edge of the quarry?

I’ve made it a goal to read all of the books that will be assigned reading for our students at different times. I just finished “Silas Marner…” and I’ll bet that Steve Martin movie was totally inspired by “Silas Marner,” which was written in 1861. I’d like to get the movie to show after the student has read the book.

I also get to read “The Odyssey” again, and I’d like to get the movie “O Brother Where Art Thou,” as a fun follow up to the book.

And, seein’ as we’re talking about Steve Martin, I just see putting this Q in the “General” section! Do with this question what you will! :) Except tell me the name of the movie first.
