MY MAN GODFREY (1936)

One of the earliest and one of best "Screwball Comedy" from the 1930s. William Powell stars as the derelict Godfrey who falls into acquaintance with socialite Irene Bullock. After hiring Godfrey to work as her family "butler" she begins to fall in love with the man, despite his perception that she is the epitome of the idle rich incarnate. With Godfrey's avid refusal to concede to Bullock's advances, his mysterious past, and Bullock's own personal motives stirring the pot, "My Man Godfrey" promises to be quite the comic treat.

The cast includes: William Powell (Godfrey), Carole Lombard (Irene Bullock), Gail Patrick (Cornelia Bullock), Alice Brady (Mrs. Bullock), and Eugene Pallette (Mr. Bullock).

Directed by Gregory La Cava and he received a nomination for best directing.
