Director Gregory La Cava deftly balances satire, romance, and social comment in this 1936 classic, which echoes Frank Capra in its Depression-era subtext. The Bullocks are a well-heeled, harebrained Manhattan family genetically engineered for screwball collisions: father Alexander (Eugene Pallette, of the foghorn voice and thick-knit eyebrows) is the breadwinner at wit's end, thanks to his spoiled daughters, the sultry Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and the sweet but scatterbrained Irene (a luminous Carole Lombard), his dizzy and doting wife, Angelica (Alice Brady), and her "protégé," Italian freeloader Carlo (Mischa Auer). When Irene wins a society scavenger hunt (and atypically trumps her scheming sister) by producing a "lost man," a seeming tramp named Godfrey (William Powell), all their lives are transformed. With the always suave, effortlessly funny Powell in the title role, this mystery man provides the film's conscience and its model of decency; the giddy, passionate Lombard holds out its model for triumphant love. In a movie riddled with memorable comic highlights, the real miracle is the unapologetic romanticism that prevails. --Sam Sutherland

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!
