Downstairs

First day on the job, conniving chauffeur Karl (John Gilbert) insinuates himself with just-married maid Anna (Virginia Bruce, who was Mrs. Gilbert at the time), her honeymoon on hold, as her husband, butler Albert (Paul Lukas) is required for emergency service, in Downstairs, 1932.

In a screen story he wrote for himself, John Gilbert (as Austrian chauffeur Karl), arrives and plays the consummate cad, with a maid (Marion Lessing), a bride (Virgina Bruce), a Countess (Hedda Hopper) and a Baroness (Olga Baclanova), opening Downstairs, 1932.
