The Admirable Crichton (1957) Lord Loam is proud of his tendency to treat his staff as equals - to a point - while his manservant Crichton believes that people should know their place. However, when the entire household is shipwrecked on a desert island, it is the resourceful butler who rises to the top of the pecking order - to the horror of his supposedly open-minded master. Sentimental comedy based on JM Barrie's play, starring an urbane Kenneth More alongside Cecil Parker, Diane Cilento and Peter Graves
