The Remains of the Day
“Diamond in the Rough.”
1993•PG•2h 14m•7.4•Released
DramaRomance
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.
