The Servant

A young upper-class man purchases a fancy villa in Chelsea and hires a servant to help with the house's upkeeping. The servant - with his vast experience in all things manners, etiquette, and fashion - gradually becomes the master of his young employer. Joseph Losey, with a Harold Pinter script, and Dirk Bogarde in perhaps his greatest role, present a socio-psychological drama about the feelings of fear and guilt in interpersonal relationships and expose the erroneous values and falsifications of the British class system.
