my man godfrey (1936)

It's the depression and the blue blood socialites are out on a scavenger hunt at the city dump. One of the dizzier members of the party is Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard), who bumps into Godfrey (William Powell), a down and out, who she ends up hiring as family butler. Once in their mansion he finds he's serving a family of bizarre acting idle rich. Then things start to get complicated when Irene declares her love for Godfrey, who tries to persuade her that a romance between servant and employer is out of the question. And then there is the question of Godfrey's mysterious past?
The epitome of the screwball comedy that they just cannot make anymore. A film that never puts a foot wrong, it will make you laugh and hopefully make you think.
