My Man Godfrey

A landmark screwball comedy from Hollywood’s golden age, My Man Godfrey follows the madcap antics of a ditzy debutante (Lombard) who stumbles upon a “forgotten man” (Powell) at the city dump. Determined to help Godfrey out, she offers him work in her household and he soon becomes the perfect butler for her eccentric family. Featuring brilliant comedic performances, this timeless comedy classic was the first film ever to receive Academy Award nominations in all four acting categories. Director Gregory La Cava got his start in the 1910s in comic strips and animation before transitioning to live action films, going on to be one of the most sophisticated directors of the 1930s.
