The best thing about the film is when we get a glimpse of how the staff members are treated with grace, love and most importantly dignity by the Edwardian family which is a rarity in many rich, aristocratic families globally. The family too has gone through several ups and downs, but the members and their staff handled it all with grace when it came to throwing parties and dinners. Not just lavish when it came to the hospitality of the family, the warmth is what mattered the most to them.
