There's a charm to both Powell and Lombard, making the film transcend generations. It's a cute movie that has fun with levels of wealth in society and sibling rivalry.

This scintillating comedy was the first film to be Oscar-nominated in all four acting categories.

My Man Godfrey emerges with that evasive quality that is not skillful playing, writing or direction, but something that mysteriously adds itself to these things, and makes a tip-top picture.

While My Man Godfrey is full of witty dialogue and classical direction, it's the film's social awareness that really stands out today.

It then turned out that My Man Godfrey was really about the class-struggle, not the best subject in the world for comedy. Best not to stay for the ending. It leaves you with the feeling that the whole thing was a waste of time.

[A] screwball masterpiece.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A bowery bum (William Powell) crosses paths with a young heiress and ends up in the unlikely job of butler for her wealthy family in this screwball comedy from the Great Depression era. But when the daughter ends up falling in love with him, it's revealed there's more to Godfrey than meets the eye! This delightful film was a runaway smash hit upon release and went on to garner six Oscar nominations, including Best Actor, Actress, Director and Screenplay. A 1957 remake starred June Allyson and David Niven.
