# Hyppolit, the Butler (1931)

1931 · 77 min · Comedy, Romance · Hungary

Original title: Hyppolit, a lakáj

## Synopsis

Hyppolit, the Butler is a 1931 black-and-white Hungarian film comedy of manners about an upwardly mobile family hiring a butler who previously worked for aristocratic families. It was the second full sound film produced in Hungary, and at first it generated little interest but later became a favorite and is still a beloved oldie. The film was chosen to be part of the New Budapest Twelve, a list of Hungarian films considered the best in 2000. The film was shot at the Hunnia Film Studios in Budapest.
