My Man Godfrey (Universal 1936)

My Man Godfrey (Universal 1936) is a delightful 1930’s screwball comedy. Carole Lombard mistakes William Powell for a destitute hobo living in the city dump and offers him a job as the family butler. Powell and Lombard (at one time real man and wife), were stars at the peak of their popularity and are joined by a great ensemble cast featuring delicious performances by Gail Patrick, Eugene Palette and Alice Brady as the eccentric rich family who are forever changed by the simple decency of their servant. Directed by Gregory La Cava (Stage Door), the film would receive six Academy Award nominations and in 1999 be added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
