TheServant[1963]

Including of their interrelationships, is largely a four person character study split along class lines of proverbial and literal masters and servants in British society. Well off Tony has just returned to London after doing development work in Africa, he planning on doing the same in South America. Setting up a just purchased house in Knightsbridge, Tony hires Barrett as his manservant, the sole servant in the household in Tony not wanting to deal with others who he considers onlookers into his life. There is an immediate and open dislike by Tony's fiancee Sandra of Barrett who she doesn't trust, which places a strain between her and Tony if only because her want for Tony to fire Barrett demonstrates to him that she doesn't trust his opinion, especially as he has become reliant on Barrett for many of his day-to-day needs. Barrett is able to convince Tony to hire his "sister" Vera to be the household maid. As time passes, the interrelationships between the four begin to morph where the class lines not only blur but are smashed.
