I Served the King of England (Historical, Waiter, Prague Czechoslovakia, Dreams, Adaptation)
  
PLOT: This playful social satire follows the rise and fall of a diminutive Czech waiter while mirroring the political turmoil of recent Czech history. Dittie, a busboy with an inferiority complex and a driving ambition to become a millionaire, quickly rises to become a head waiter, but the respect he craves continues to allude him. When he marries a Nazi gym teacher, the Czechs despise him even more, while the Germans barely tolerate him. His first-class hotel is eventually nationalized by the Communists and he ends his life in poverty and isolation writing his memoirs. AUTHOR: Bohumil Hrabal
