Lord Loam has modern ideas about his household; he believes in treating his servants as his equals--at least sometimes. His butler Crichton still believes that members of the serving class should know their place and be happy there. But when the Loam family are shipwrecked on a desert island with the self-reliant Crichton and between-maid Tweeny, the class system is put to the test.
Directed by Lewis Gilbert

    "Paradise Lagoon" critiques class-based society, contrasting it with individual capability and talent. As someone unfamiliar with this rigid class mentality, I initially found the movie somewhat absurd. Nonetheless, it is well-crafted and effectively communicates its message without overtly advocating for change.
