The Admirable Crichton Movie Review 1957

Social satire about an aristocratic family and their butler who are marooned on a tropical island. Crichton (More), the butler, has a good deal more practical experience and sense than his employers so he's soon in charge of their survival. Filmed in Bermuda and based on the play by James M. Barrie.
