The Admirable Crichton 1957 DVD - Kenneth More / Cecil Parker

Lord Loam, a man with progressive ideas, believes in treating his servants as equals—at least occasionally. His butler, Crichton, upholds the traditional view that servants should know and accept their place in society. Their differing philosophies are put to the test when the Loam family is shipwrecked on a deserted island, accompanied only by the capable Crichton and the housemaid, Tweeny. As their survival depends on practical skills, the established class system is challenged, leading to unexpected shifts in power and relationships.
