What is The Servant about?

Indolent aristocrat Tony employs competent Barrett as his manservant and all seems to be going well until Barrett persuades Tony to hire his sister as a live-in maid.

The Servant is a 1963 British psychological drama film directed and produced by Joseph Losey from a screenplay by Harold Pinter, who adapted Robin Maugham's 1948 novella. It stars Dirk Bogarde, Sarah Miles, Wendy Craig and James Fox. The first of Pinter's three film collaborations with Losey, The Servant is a tightly constructed film about the psychological relationships among the four central characters and examines issues relating to social class.
