Downstairs
1932 · Movie · 77 min. · United States
All seems joyful in the house of the Baron and Baroness von Burgen (Reginald Owen and Olga Baclanova). A symbiotic relationship exists between the servants downstairs and the masters above. So much so that the Baron celebrates the wedding of his head-butler (Paul Lukas) to the lady’s maid (Virginia Bruce) in opulent fashion, even bequeathing the butler with a box that symbolizes membership in the family. That happy relationship, however, is breached upon the arrival of the new chauffeur (John Gilbert).
