My Man Godfrey

Gregory La Cava, 1935, bw (8.1*)
Fun and lovable screwball comedy starts with rich girl Carole Lombard, in perhaps her best film, going on a scavenger hunt with her aristocratic friends, when she finds street bum William Powell (of the Thin Man Series), whom she brings home to find that he's a well-mannered gentleman with a heart of gold, so she hires him as a butler. Original and unexpected 30's comedy that is the type that makes us say "they don't make comedies like this any more".
