Fitzwilly (1967)
When Miss Vicki's father dies, she becomes the world's
greatest philanthropist. Unfortunately, she is flat
broke! Her loyal butler, Claude Fitzwilliam, leads the
household staff to rob from various businesses by
charging goods to various wealthy people and
misdirecting the shipments, all to keep Miss Vicki's
standard of living. After Fitzwilly's mother died Miss
Vicki helped raise him and he loves her like a mother
and would do anything for her. With Fitzwilly's
encouragement, Miss Vicki writes a "Dictionary for
Dopes" which contains all possible phonetic spellings
of a word, and gives the reader the correct one, and
for that she needs a secretary. Juliet is the one who
is hired, soon she is caught up in the intrigue and
falls in love with Fitzwilly. They agree to carry out
one more caper before they get married, to keep Miss
Vicki comfortable for the rest of her days.
