Hyppolit, the Butler is a milestone of early Hungarian sound cinema and one of the greatest successes in the history of Hungarian film. With timeless quotes and a truly old-world atmosphere — where onions are eaten with onions, and appearances must be maintained no matter what — this film continues to captivate generation after generation. Everyone still hums “Bye, my darling, bye,” rooting for the clumsy upstart bourgeois and the young lovers. The first Hungarian sound-film hit, starring the unforgettable Gyula Kabos and Gyula Csortos.
