Speaking of butlers: A famous and for very good reasons extremely loved Danish film premiered in 1961. Some of the best Danish actors of the time played "Harry and the Butler"

SPOILER ALERT!

It tells the story of Harry, a man of small means, but apparently also of quirky dreams. When he inherits a fortune out of the blue he doesn't want his life changed - as such. The "only" thing he wants is - a butler...

So he hires one and as the odd couple gets to know each other also get so fond of each others company - so much that when all of Harry's money is spent - the butler hires Harry as his master smiley - biggrin

Check out this ancient trailer even if it is in Danish:
