The Admirable Crichton by J.M. Barrie
3.0
From BC Radio 4 - Saturday Drama:
Adaptation of JM Barrie's classic satire about the changing fortunes of Crichton, the perfect butler. Liberal aristocrat Lord Loam favours a return to nature, with masters and servants living together as equals, but Crichton is the perfect butler and the perfect snob who adores the intricacies of the class system. He cannot help but be horrified by his master's opinions, and it will take a sea change to alter them.
A movie was made based on this book: Paradise Lagoon (1957) "The Admirable Crichton" (original title) with Kenneth More, Diane Cilento, Cecil Parker.
This movie is available at YouTube.
