kipps (1941)
aka The Remarkable Mr. Kipps.
"Artie, are you happy?"
Mr Kipps (Michael Redgrave) is a lowly shop assistant when he comes into an inheritance. No longer needing to work, he is advised to move up in the world and expand his social circle, but becoming a member of society is harder than he realises.
Based on the HG Wells story from a thankfully lost time. When social standing was everything. Interesting in a retrospective way, but does nothing for me beyond the historical perspective.
