Upstairs and Downstairs is a 1959 British comedy film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Michael Craig, Anne Heywood, Mylène Demongeot, Claudia Cardinale, James Robertson Justice, Joan Sims, Joan Hickson and Sid James.

Eventually, he hires a young Swedish blonde woman, Ingrid, who is most competent and liked, not only by Richard and Kate and their two children, but also by their male friends.

"[5] Nicholas Parsons, who had a small role called it "a delightful domestic romp" where Demongeot "was incredibly sexy, and everyone fancied her like crazy.

James' biographer called the film a "glossy but empty-headed comedy... strangely out of touch for the late fifties."

A host of familiar character actors go through their usual party pieces, but only Myléne Demongeot and Daniel Massey bring a spark of vivacity to the proceedings, and that in the last half hour.

"[11] The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: "It must have been very frustrating for the cast of accomplished British performers, let alone for stars Claudia Cardinale and Mylène Demonget, to have watched all their efforts being frittered away by such dull leads as Michael Craig and Anne Heywood.
