As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Though made as early as 1931, this film still has cult status in Hungary and was voted last year by a group of critics one of the 12 best Hungarian films of the century.Mrs. Schneider, the wife of Mr. Schneider, a nouveau riche, wants to have a real butler to bring some 'class' into her household. This butler, Hyppolit, who had served at a count's castle before, turns everything upside down in the house. He changes the whole furniture as well as Mr. and Mrs. Schneider's eating habits. Things get more complicated, when Terka, the young daughter of the Schneiders should be married to a friend of her father's she does not love - and Mr. Schneider becomes seduced by a night club dancer called Mimi...Some lines of the film as well as its songs 'Pá, kis aranyom pá' (Bye, Sweetie, Bye Bye) and 'Köszönöm, hogy imádott' (Thank You for Adoring Me) are still widely quoted and known in Hungary. A must-see for fans of old-fashioned, light-hearted comedy!

This movie is one of my favorite. It's perfect. One of the perfect comedies. No violent, no sexuality, no adult language. Fresh and suggestive. The song are pretty good, my favorite: "Köszönöm,hogy imadott". This song is one of the most favorite movie songs in Hungary.This movie is looks like a historical ride to an age, where everyone respect everyone. The story are strong, and full of fun. This movie is an European answer to the American movies with dancing and music. No race with the American movies, just shows the feeling of the 1930-40 years.The characters are good and funny. The womens are beautiful. This is a light and very funny comedy, about love, respect and fun.

Apart from being, as I heard, one of Hungary's cult movies, this movie has a couple of really funny scenes, a charming story and a tremendously old-fashioned atmosphere. It's classic light theatre on film, of course with some songs in between, songs which sound terrible because the film is so old but which are still known throughout Hungary. Really nice - and short, a perfect Sunday afternoon movie.And it's interesting to hear how Hungarian upper class people used to talk seventy years ago.
