In this clever 1960s comedy, tireless and loyal butler Fitzwilly hides from his eccentric spinster boss, Victoria Woodhouse, the fact that she has been bankrupt since her father died. Through wily schemes with his fellow servants, he creates one racket, swindle or con after another to maintain the household and fund his employer's frivolous philanthropy. When new secretary Juliet is hired on, Fitzwilly's life gets even more complicated.

3.5/5
Fitzwilly isn't a great film by any means but it's entertaining and funny enough to sit back and enjoy the performances from Dick Van Dyke, Barbara Feldon, and company. Go to Full Review

Hagrid W Jan 6, 2019 Dick Van Dyke means well, but this is his worst showing. Fitzwilly is so dull that it is unwatchable. If you haven't heard much about this film try to keep it that way. (First and only viewing - 1/7/2019) See more
Anakin R Sep 3, 2018 Formulaic comedy in the Disney mold, a fine cast and rather unusual plot line, not compelling.
Albus S Dec 28, 2017 Clever tale and a great cast, but just doesn't quite make it as the sparkling comedy that it should have been.
