For the list of Happy Butlers: Dick Van Dyke in Fitzwilly, scrambling to prevent his employer from finding out that her family’s wealth ran out years ago.
I know it’s a TV show, but Jeeves and Wooster is also an iconic depiction of the happy butler. Stephen Fry (playing butler to Hugh Laurie’s upper class twit) is just brilliant.
I once met a man who got a job as a valet to an English lord and what he told me would take pages but the main thing to know if you want to be one is that it's pronounced with a hard t, like mallet

Honorable mention to Arthur, which Sir John Gielgud did his damndest to turn into half of a happy butler movie.
I find Arthur hard to stomach and am therefore reluctant to give it an honorable mention at all. the appeal of Dudley Moore escapes me
This was excellent, and I wish I could go back in time and reread remains of the day for the very first time. What a pleasant surprise!
Would read an infinite amount of My Man, Godfrey content, especially from you
