Editorial Reviews:

Classic screwball comedy with Lombard as madcap heiress who hires Powell as butler after finding him on garbage hunt. Marvelously funny Powell teaches them money isn't everything. He's actually from a wealthy Boston family and took up residence at the dump after a bad love affair.

From Eric Hatch novel. Academy Award nominations for Best Director-Gregory LaCava; Best Actor-Powell; Best Actress-Lombard; Best Supporting Actor-Mowbray; Best Supporting Actress-Brady; and Best Screenplay-Eric Hatch and Morris Ryskinch. Great movie!

Summary: "The Butler DOES It"
Comment: Yes, the butler, does it. William Powell, a hobo, is found as a "lost man" needed for a scavenger hunt. He winds up being the real butler when Irene, Carole Lombard brings him into the home of her eccentric, wealthy family of screwballs. "Godfrey" teaches the family quite a few lessons they badly need. There are hilarious moments in this film, provided by a cast of characters that are real characters. An early comedy whose entertainment value improves with age.

Summary: sometimes classics can't be matched
Comment: My Man Godfrey {1936} is a classic in every sense of the word. It is a wonderful picture of Have's and Have's Not during a period that was hard on even some of the Have's. It is a study of human nature and filled with characters so different from each other to give a fantastic picture of humanity. William Powell gives a performance that shows why he was a major box office draw. It is a movie not to be missed. If only to make you think about where you fit in the scheme of society.

Summary: Nice Movie, Bad Presentation
Comment: Don't buy this one! Nice example of the 30's screwball comedy genre. But this particular DVD version (My Man Godfrey) is badly flawed by the insertion throughout the whole movie of a "bug" in the lower right of the picture. The bug is "RE" which evidently stands for "Reel Enterprises," the copyright owner for this version. Why would they deface such a good movie by inserting such a distraction? Surely not for the publicity; I'll never buy another product from Reel Enterprises.
