"the movie is set on NYE"

Is it? I don't recall anything to suggest that. The title in German in "The 90th birthday".

It's a frequent misconception that it is set on NYE, since one of the guests (Mr. Pomeroy) says "Happy New Year Miss Sophie" in one of his toasts. But this is intended to be a joke, that the butler James is drunk enough to believe for a moment that it is NYE.

I thought he was just wishing Miss Sophie a happy new year, because it is the beginning of a new year for _her_ since this is her birthday.
