Kenneth More is Crichton the resourceful butler in the James Barrie play about a manservent and the upper class people he serves. The Barrie play speculates about what happens to class structure when situations are reversed and the masters become the servants.
The satire and social commentary are mild for the most part. Barrie makes his points but nothing is really taken very seriously. This film is far from a rallying cry to overthrow the British ruling class.
The film is well done, the acting fine, this is what was called a civilized entertainment once upon a time.
94 minutes.
