The Remains of the Day

In 1958 post-war Britain, Stevens, the butler of Darlington Hall, receives a letter from recently separated Miss Kenton, a housekeeper two decades ago. Their former employer, the Earl of Darlington, has died a broken man, his reputation destroyed by pre-war support of Germany. He was labeled a traitor and Nazi sympathizer although sharing his position with many others in the mid-1930s.
