Harry and the Butler (1961)
Directed by Bent Christensen
Overview
A gentle comedy offering the promise of easy social consensus. Harry (Helmuth) is a simple old-time shop porter offered a chance at self-realisation when he’s bequeathed a sum by an unknown relative (via several levels of fiscal blood suckers). He decides to engage a butler to take good care of him for a time. This is a man of distinguished upper class service, but a generous nature which happily integrates with Harry’s small but colourful world of drinking buddies and crackpot neighbourhood kids.
