Life in the normally tranquil high society home of Joshua Howard is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious footman in this sparkling British romantic comedy hit. Richard (Michael Wilding) acts like anything but a servant. He has aristocratic airs and graces, an expert knowledge of fine art and can play classical music and boogie-woogie on a grand piano with equal aplomb. And is that an Old Etonian tie hes wearing? Judy (Anna Neagle), is determined to discover Richards true identity and the reason hes posing as a lowly footman. Bored with the attentions of vain movie stars and eccentric minor nobility, shes captivated by his easy-going charm and ready to fall. But will his scandalous secret come between them and true happiness?
