It's a lovely film. The Margery Sharp novel it is based on is very good too.

It's a favorite, which I first saw on TV, during the 60's.
It's beautifully cast, and I think my favorite performance is from Una O'Connor, as Richard Haydn's mother, who delivers her "lines," by clearing her throat. She delivers every sentiment perfectly ... the sign of an excellent actress.
For years, after I saw it, I thought of the small town where Cluny goes into "service," as the perfect British small town. I wanted to go there. When I looked it up on IMDb, I found that it was shot on a 20th Century sound stage. I guess that's why the Academy awards Oscars to set designers.
It's time for a re-viewing!
Thanks, Nuts!

I love this movie. It is not only a comedy but it is a satire about the classes and the ridiculous rules for the classes too.
Hilary Ames (Reginald Gardiner): But look here, are you a plumber? Cluny Brown (Jennifer Jones): Oh, no. But I've been around pipes and sewers and taps and things, ever since I came to live with Uncle Arn. And, of course, I've watched him work. He's a good plumber. But if you ask me, much too conservative.
Adam Belinski (Charles Boyer): That's very interesting. You don't seem to be inhibited. Tell to me more specific - what made you think you were out of place? Cluny Brown : Oh, I don't think I was. It's Uncle Arn. He's always telling me, "Cluny Brown, you don't know your place."
Adam Belinski : In Hyde Park, for instance, some people like to feed nuts to the squirrels. But if it makes you happy to feed squirrels to the nuts, who am I to say, "nuts to the squirrels?"
