Synopsis:
Anthony Hopkins stars as a butler reflecting on his life as he recalls how unquestioning loyalty to an unsympathetic lord led him to ignore his own feelings and those of housekeeper Emma Thompson. Emotive period drama, with Hopkins giving a perfectly balanced, restrained performance in the lead, opposite the equally controlled Thompson. James Fox, Hugh Grant, Christopher Reeve, Peter Vaughan and Tim Pigott-Smith number among the superior supporting cast
