The Remains of the Day

7.4 134 mins Drama   Romance   1993
Columbia Pictures   Mike Nichols Productions   John Calley Productions   Merchant Ivory Productions  
Director(s): James Ivory

A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.
