The Remains of the Day (1993)
Synopsis
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.

• The original screenplay was written by Harold Pinter for Mike Nichols. A few of his scenes survived the rewrite after Columbia reassigned the film to Merchant-Ivory. One of these scenes, almost at the very end of the film, where Anthony Hopkins finally accepts his failures and cries in front of a total stranger, a retired butler, did not make the final cut. The scene appears in the deleted scenes special features of the 2001 DVD release.
• At one point, Anjelica Huston was being courted for the part of the housekeeper. Jeremy Irons had also been considered for a part in the film.
• In spite of the fact that this film is, in many ways, a love story, there is not a single scene of romance in the whole movie - the one attempt Miss Kenton makes is curtly and directly refused, never to be repeated.
• The character played by Christopher Reeve in the film is a composite of two different people: in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, Stevens's new employer is an American by the name of Farraday, and has nothing to do with Mr. Lewis the Senator.
× Awards: Nominated for 8 Oscars. Another 15 wins & 14 nominations (view)
