The Admirable Crichton
1957, English. Directed by Lewis Gilbert.
The Hilarious Story of What the Girls Saw in the Butler...
Lord Loam has modern ideas about his household, he believes in treating his servants as his equals - at least sometimes. His butler, Crichton, still believes that members of the serving class should know their place and be happy there. But when the Loam family are shipwrecked on a desert island with the self-reliant Crichton and lady's maid Tweeny, the class system is put to the test.
