Entertainment Reviews:
William Powell gives [Annabella] capable support, but even so the backstairs romance of the baroness and the butler doesn't come off very convincingly.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Set in Hungary, the daughter of the prime minister begins to have feelings for the butler, who secretly opposes the current regime.
Product Description:
The Baroness, daughter of the Hungarian prime minister, is played by Annabella. The Butler, last of a long line of family retainers, is played by William Powell. The butler works for the baroness' father, and the relationship between baroness and butler is outwardly chilly but subliminally affectionate. The butler, something of a political activist, becomes leader of the party opposing the prime minister. The baroness despises her "hired man" for defying her father, but gradually realizes that she is in love with the butler. Steadfastly avoiding any hint of the German expansionism that would ultimately engulf the real-life Hungary, THE BARONESS AND THE BUTLER is fast if forgettable entertainment.
