My Man Godfrey

William Powell and Carole Lombard star in this gem of a screwball comedy directed by Gregory La Cava in 1936.

Daughter in rich, disfunctional family hires Powell as a butler thinking he is a "forgotten man", a hobo.

The family is crazy but Powell endures and helps bring a sense of rationality to them...somewhat.

Funny, with great writing and characters. Holds up today, especially in these tough economic times.
