Harold Prince's black comedy "Something for Everyone" casts Michael York as a man who goes to work for fallen Bavarian aristocrat Angela Lansbury, not refraining from doing what he wants to in order to take over the estate. By extension the movie comes across as a look at how Europe's old aristocracy was forced to accept the new realities of the post-war era. Capitalism had been driving out feudalism for over a century, but the baby boom came of age in an era of the greatest social change in history. No longer would the aristocracy get seen as the most virtuous entity of all (although we all saw the hoopla over William & Kate's wedding, and then their baby).
Aside from that, it's a pretty funny movie. The aristocratic family has more than a few skeletons in its closet. Not the funniest movie, but worth seeing. It's apparently available on DVD, but I could only find a VHS copy.
