Hyppolit, the Butler

Hyppolit, the Butler (Hungarian: Hyppolit, a lakáj) is a 1931 black-and-white Hungarian film comedy of manners. It was one of the earliest full sound films produced there. In 2000, Hungarian film critics chose it as one of the twelve best films of Hungary. It was remade in 1999 as Hippolyt, a lakáj (with the y and the i interchanged). The screenplay was written by prolific Hungarian screenwriter Károly Nóti AKA Karl Noti, based on a stage play by István Zágon. It was directed by Székely István AKA Steve Sekely, who earlier worked in Germany and later worked in Hollywood and Great Britain. The music was composed by Mihály Eisemann.
