The Remains of the Day
1993 · 134 MIN · IMDB 7.8 · 88,030 VOTES · DIR. James Ivory
Overview
A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.

01:32:33 Or a boarding house in the west country, where I come from.
