Overview

A happy and unbelievably lucky young Irish immigrant, John Lawless, lands a job as the butler of an unconventional millionaire, Biddle. His daughter, Cordelia Drexel Biddle, tires of the unusual antics of her father--especially since the nice young men around town all fear him. Wouldn't you fear a father-in-law that keeps alligators for pets and teaches boxing at his daily Bible classes?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A lavishly optimistic musical about an Irish immigrant butler befriending an eccentric millionaire and his frustrated daughter, where whimsy and absurdity are treated as perfectly natural. It's a warm, light-hearted romp through old-fashioned theatrical joy.
