The type of hospitality to be expected in an establishment of this sort reaches its peak when the butler, who is queer when sober and mad while drunk, gulps down a bottle of gin and opens the door of a room which contains a criminal lunatic who tries to cut off Melvyn Douglas's head with a carving knife.
