    See the silent original MALE AND FEMALE (1919) for comparison. The silent version displays much more emotion and interaction between characters than this version does. However, if you're not a silent movie fan, this talkie version isn't all that bad. 11 years 2 months ago

    J.M. Barrie's improbable but witty examination of the British class system gets a solid film version with ever reliable Kenneth More as the eponymous unflappable butler who swaps roles with his master Lord Loam (Cecil Parker) when he and his whole family are ship-wrecked in the South Seas, presumed dead. The snobbishness and uselessness of the upper classes dissolve as the practical man naturally takes the lead and becomes the master of the island. Where the story stumbles, and does so seriously, is in the end: spoiler 12 years 2 months ago
