My Man Godfrey (1936) CAROLE LOMBARD

- Movie Class by PizzaFLIX: Universal's original choice to play Irene was Constance Bennett, but William Powell would only accept the role if Carole Lombard was cast. The film was a runaway hit and earned huge profits for the studio. At the Oscars, it was the first film to be nominated in all four acting categories, plus Screenplay and Direction, but failed to win any awards.
Stars: William Powell, Carole Lombard, Alice Brady
Director: Gregory La Cava
Screenplay: Morrie Ryskind
In this screwball comedy, a harebrained heiress falls madly in love with the homeless man she hires as her butler. A FIVE PEPPERONI PizzaFLIX!
TRIVIA: Lombard made shooting somewhat difficult, because of her habit of inserting four-letter words into her dialogue. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
What a well-curated selection of film and tv classics! You, Pizza Flix deserve an Oscar for best classic films on TH-cam. The quality of your prints is outstanding! Thank you!
Thanks for your vote 🍕May the Sauce be with you 🍕
This gem never gets old! Hard to take my eyes off of William Powell - so dashing and such wonderful chemistry with Carole Lombard! And LOVE Eugene Pallette as Mr. Bullock. Outstanding performances and dialogue, luscious sets and perfect pace. Thank you!
Who ever could forget Eugene Pallette as the long-suffering head of the Bullock clan?
Pallette plays a similar role in The Lady Eve. He was something special
Wonderful chemistry - to a point, they were divorced by then, but could still star in this classic comedy together. Powell would go on to be engaged to Jean Harlow & Lombard would marry Clark Gable, both would end tragically. Fortunately Powell would beat cancer, marry a much younger starlet & live the rest of his long life with her.

"Stand still Godfrey. It'll all be over in a minute!!"
i just laughed out loud at that final line, brilliant.
Followed by her delighted little giggle. So cute!
One of my favorite movie moments of all time
That’s what my mom used to say just before I got a shot!
One of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite movies
This movie stands the test of time. It looks so modern no matter what year I watch it.
Fundamentally this is a film about spiritual transformation, the ability of individuals in suffering to learn wisdom, and to transcend beyond themselves. Interestingly enough Carol Lombard and William Powell had actually been married together prior to this film, though they had recently divorced. So after a long and arduous search for the Irene Bullock character, it was Powell who suggested using Lombard for knowing formidable her talent he knew she would be perfect for that role.
"Oh everybody knows about it except Godfrey" I love it. I can sure see what Powell and Gable saw in that woman. Well made and a very, very, good movie.
Wonderful casting.It’s lovely,to know that Lombard and Powell,even though they were divorced,still cared deeply for each other.William Powell was a true gentleman.
Very professional!
Carole Lombard died way too young. Many thanks to those who had foresight to preserve these marvelous films.
Her death crushed Clark Gable. I can see why.
If this is the kind of shit she starred in, it wasn't soon enough.
@@melvynobrien6193 but yet you watched it. Crap is what I thought of when I read your comment. I bet you are the one person everyone forgets when they have a get together. You must live a crappy life. Moron
@@melvynobrien6193 I feel sorry for you.
From Indiana.
Very straight forward
I never get tired of this movie!
Have seen it dozens of times, and know it word for word. Yet it still manages to entertain me with every viewing. A true classic!
please tell me what he says to her when they walk away from the ash pile to go to the scavenger hunt I can never make it out?
@@sparkifilmsful, when she gets up to go, it sounds like he says, "It's a good idea," then he continues, "Let's beat Cornelia. You see, I've got a sense of curiosity just as you have."
Me too.
Ditto!
I totally understand. Brilliant movie.
Roger Ebert said it best -
"God, but this film is beautiful. The cinematography by Ted Tetzlaff is a shimmering argument for everything I've ever tried to say in praise of black and white. Look me in the eye and tell me you would prefer to see it in color. The restored version on the Criterion DVD is particularly alluring in its surfaces. Everything that can shine, glimmers: the marble floors, the silver, the mirrors, the crystal, the satin sheen of the gowns. There is a tactile feel to the furs and feathers of the women's costumes, and the fabric patterns by designer Louise Brymer use bold splashes and zigs and zags of blacks and whites to arrest our attention. Every woman in this movie, in every scene, is wearing something that other women at a party would kill for. These tones and textures are set off with one of those 1930s apartments that is intended to look like a movie set, all poised for entrances and exits."
"I found myself freezing the frame and simply appreciating compositions. Notice a shot when Godfrey exits screen right and the camera pans with him and then pushes to poor, sad Irene, seen through sculptured openings in the staircase and chewing the hem of her gown. Look for another composition balanced by a light fixture high on the wall to the right. You'll know the one."
"The movie also benefits from the range of sharply defined characters, and the actors to play them. Even the biggest stars in those days were surrounded by other actors in substantial roles that provided them with counterpoint, with context, with emotional tennis partners. Notice here the work of Eugene Pallette, who bluntly speaks truth even though his family is deaf to him. By God, he's had enough: "What this family needs is discipline. I've been a patient man, but when people start riding horses up the front steps and parking them in the library, that's going a little too far. This family's got to settle down!" His voice is like a chain saw, cutting through the vapors around him."
"This movie, and the actors in it, and its style of production, and the system that produced it, and the audiences that loved it, have all been replaced by pop culture of brainless vulgarity. But the movie survives, and to watch it is to be rescued from some people who don't care that it makes a difference ... to some people."
Nice commentary, ty
One of my favorite Ebert reviews.
Hope we can step away from vulgarity, as Ebert mentions, and restore the genuine thrill of real talent, brilliance, and great humor
So well said! Thank you… and this all makes a difference to some people, LIKE ME; and always will!! 🙏🏻💗✨
Good lord, Carole Lombard is just sublime in this role. It's hard to imagine anyone else trying to play it.
Perfection
No one could do the part justice.
This is a beautiful print, and the acting and dialogues are so fresh and funny still that it could have been yesterday not 80 years ago.
I agree, this doesn't feel old to me. I've watched many times now
"The only different between a derelict (homeless) and a man is a job!"
Certainly one of the top 100 Hollywood movies. Genius!.
It’s so nice to watch a good movie with no superheroes and rehashed stories.
Derek Tucker
....and no politics and woke bs
So true!! :) Beautiful Movie and so well acted/ brilliant Script! I watched it about ten times the last week :) Perfect for Relaxation :)
@@Wanamaker1946 but this film had some social commentary though...
@Derek Tucker, Godfrey was indeed a superhero in this movie! 😊
Well, this has been remade at least twice. But this was the first movie version.
Third time watching this absolute gem of a movie and I'm ashamed to say that I'm only now realising how amazing Lombard is in it. Obviously Powell is magnificent, but Lombard was his equal. And, Gail Patrick was gorgeous. I also thoroughly enjoyed Pallette as the bemused and mildy angry father of the circus of a family. This has to be in my top 10 movies of all time.
I have watched this film a zillion times and I never tire of it.
I just loved how well made this movie is. It's got rythym, witty dialogs, great audio and photography. William Powell just steals every scene. And thanks PizzaFlix for keeping its wonderful black and white photography original.
There is a colorized version, but I prefer the original.
@@annazeman8521 Colorized, yuk. Why even mention it?
*witty dialogue
@@annazeman8521 So do I.
I first saw this movie about 5 years ago. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. Made during the great depression, it was a break from the mundane lives that many people had during that terrible time, and showed the disparity between the haves and the have not. William Powell and Carol Lombard were among the best actors in the world!
The great thing is that Godfrey gets back on his feet & then spreads his good fortune with others in the end, he dosent forget the forgotten man & provides a step up to them too. 👍
During the Depression, there were numerous films made showing wealthy people. These films were intended to cheer people up and make them look forward to better times.
It's amazing how much true chemistry is there between the real-life divorced couple Powell and Lombard 1:19:47 and 1:30:23. I can't think of any equivalent example in all of cinema.
Bravo to both of them.
Crawford and Gable?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_Lombard
"William Powell, who was playing the eponymous Godfrey, insisted on her being cast as the female lead; despite their divorce, the pair remained friendly and Powell felt she would be perfect in the role of Irene."
Oh for sure
Nothing like rekindled old flames 🔥
I read that after Lomard's death Powell was so devastated he didn't act for a long time. Not until Life With Father.
After Lombard had married Clark Gable, both helped take care of her ex-husband, William Powell, when he had cancer.
One of the best Depression Era movies!
Love Alice Brady as the crazy mom who’s always looking out for Carlo. Fabulous cast of nonstop fun.
Crazy _mother._
Carol Lombard is a total doll. The face of an angel.
And she died the year after its relelase :-(
Even the opening credits are great!
They're really innovative for a film of that era.
FOESHOW
Anna My Late Mom Uncle Alan Mowbray My Namesake ,!!is 5Th in the Credits Love How they Done it Vintage Hollywood
If any life could be drawn out to perfection this would be it. A person who finds him/herself through inner inspection of their OWN life and come back with a positive conclusion is infinite. I actually cried when Godfrey told Mr. Bullock that he made investments for him to save his livelyhood....NO ONE today would do that unless they are PURE OF HEART AND UNSELFISH. Thank you to the writers, directors and actors of this creation.
One of my Favorites !! My Late Mom Grace Allen White was a Niece of Alan Mowbray ! One This Vintage Hollywoods Best She Named me after this Great English World War One Hero !!! Love William Powell an Carole Lombard taken too Soon Wild watching a Classic Hollywood Film an Knowing I am Decended from one of the Plethora Of Great Stars ! RIP to All
What a dialogue delivery. Wonderful. Movie. They don't come in this way anymore. What actors. Superb camera
Love Carlo, he's priceless. Such excellence on the screen. The dude reminded me of another character I love in an old movie and then it dawned on me it's Kolenkhov from "You Can't Take It With You" another movie masterpiece. The body slam he put down on Anthony P. Kirby in that was just brilliant. ... and he's always trying to eat everything in both movies. The guy just makes me laugh.
This whole cast of "My Man Godfrey" was excellent.
Enjoy you day.
Check out Agatha Christies "And then there were none." He plays prince Nikita Starlov.He's the first murdered so he didn't get alot of screen time but he's always memorable no matter how much we see of him.Here's to you Misha.🍷
I played Kolenkhov in my High School production
He's also "Callahan " in DESTREY RIDES AGAIN, with Jimmy Stewart
@@benknowles3760 Thanks, I'll try and track that down. I'm a fan of James Stewart. Stumbled across Wife vs. Secretary a few days ago, in his limited role, one could see he was an up and coming great actor. I've seen plenty of his work, yet that was one of his first roles and he nailed it. If you have not seen Seventh Heaven (1937) it has been uploaded to YT and I believe was the movie that made the studio believe he could be a star.
Have a good day.
Thanks to all that responded to my post. We all think he's a solid actor and he made us smile and laugh and maybe in some instances cry.
Enjoy the day, week, month, year, decade ahead. Eat drink and be merry!!!!
Easily one of my favorite movies from the 30s. It nearly makes me cry, each time I see it. Powell's roll is just too good for words. It has everything, laughs, screwball moments and, beautiful moments of real compassion and loyalty. I am also glad to see a good copy surface! My DVD copy is like rolling an aquarium in front of the screen! LOL
Kind of sad to see there's 103 people that actually disliked this film...idiots.
And they probably qualify to vote!😮
@@loriforges6304 I shudder to think of it.
Just an overall enjoyable movie, It had me laughing all the way thru. I particularly liked the ending: where Irene goes out and gets her man. That was the theme the movie started out with.
Yes and she got him at the same place...love love love this movie
There was never any indication that Powell was in love with her, even at the end. TOTAL SHITE.
I enjoyed him being a little tipsy
@@melvynobrien6193 Obviously, you've never remotely been or love or have any clue how to perceive someone is in love with someone else.
@@melvynobrien6193 You MISSED IT.......He told Mr. Gray he left because he felt that *FOOLISH FEELING coming on again* at the 128:55 mark.
The way movies should be made.
Making women look like total fools, eh?
@@melvynobrien6193 Everybody, men and women, looks like fools in this movie, except Godfrey, it's understood
@@melvynobrien6193 If you feel that way then why are you here?
@@melvynobrien6193 Actually, Cornelia is no fool and there are some, including me, who think she and Godfrey getting together makes more sense. But, this is 30's Hollywood and it doesn't ruin what is still one of my favorite films as well.
Addendum - Molly's no fool, either...
@@loge10 I love this movie, too. Really, there are no foolish women in this film... just varying degrees of common sense. Angelica , the mother, is the one with the least common sense, but she's basically a sweet lady. Irene is not without smarts, but what she does need more of is maturity. She does, however, have the biggest heart. Cornelia is very intelligent, but extremely spoiled and manipulative. Molly is the most level-headed of the bunch, lol.
This is a beautiful light hearted Romantic Comedy with a message. This move is beyond "old" but the setting is so stylish it reminds me of today's style in fashion and furnishings. This movie used to air in my area during the winter holidays. I love it.☺☺
"This is a beautiful light hearted Romantic Comedy with a message."
That was my observation during my first ever viewing this film. There was more to this movie, aside of the comedic antics of the Bullock family. It seemed to be a satirical take on wealthy people during the 1930's.
@@oldrocker74 incredibly relevant in our current times.
55 years old never seen this movie, seen it today on film 4, was gripped from start to finish, absolutely brilliant
This perfect movie is one you can never get tired of watching again & again. 💖💟💖
William Powell agreed to take the part only if Carole Lombard was his co-star...surprising since they'd divorced 3 years earlier. This film certainly wears well and was probably a big hit during The Depression. Thanks for the post.
@randolph Yes, they were very supportive of each other, even when they were no longer a couple... up until her death, actually. He supported her after Russ Colombo's tragic death; she saw him through his bout with cancer and Harlow's death.
@randolph Some great finds from the 1930s at ok.ru ...I'm careful online & no probs with this site. I recommend "No Man of Her Own'' 1932 w/Lombard & Gable, "Manhattan Melodrama'' w/Powell, Loy, & Gable, and lots of Harlow's films w/Powell or Gable. Easy to find; just use Google, i.e. Carole Lombard ok.ru. *You don't need to sign up if you Google instead of going there directly. Enjoy. :-)
@@Jeanne90275 she was married to Clark Gable when she died. What did Harlow's death have to do with him?
Jeanne90275 not surprising, they were very close friends and she was an Amazon actress
@@vikkinicholson2300 William Powell was engaged to Harlow before her sudden death.
Carol Lombard was so lovely. I could watch this movie everyday❤️🕊
I am doing just that. It is so enjoyable.
Saw this on a Late Show as a kid in the 70s, loved it. Carole Lombard is terrific and love the ditzy mother. Great acting by the whole cast.
The "Ditzy Mother" went on to become "Mrs. Mildred Drysdale" on the BEVERLY HILLBILLIES TV show, always complaining to her husband about "Those awful hillbillies".
This is the first time you see it again since 50 years ago?
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 Yes, I remember it well. I even remember how cool the opening credits and music were. Back in the 70s, they showed great movies for free on TV.
@@malcolmmarshall5946 Wow! I wasborn in 1984, my oldest memories watching movies are from the 90's. I'm one of the few that like older movies, most of my generation don't have a clue about classic cinema.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 I'm glad you have such good taste. Today's youth have missed out on so much classic entertainment, it's good to know there are appreciative people like you. I was born in '66.
If you are ever driving south out of Las Vegas, glance up at Mt. Potosi and blow Carole Lombard a kiss.
That's sweet 🙏🏻
Just delightful. And great quality!
Love Carol Lombard’s character.
She is so honest and straight with her affection
I love the charm, innocence and wittyness of this original black&white 1936 version "My Man Godfrey".
With it's tongue-in-cheek dialogue of the 30's. And its low key sarcasm,
When Powell says,"The only difference between a man and a derelict is a job".
Powell and Lombard as ( Godfrey and Irene) excel and are perfectly casted here. I love the film's message of the movie; giving hope & second chances to everyone. (That we all deserve to find love and be loved). It is a funny and a joy to watch everytime ( from start to finish). A comedic gem of a film we all should watch.😊❤❤❤
Heard about this movie for a long time, finally got a chance to see it. Wonderful! BTW, Gail Patrick, who played Cornelia in this film, became the executive producer of the "Perry Mason" TV show (the Raymond Burr version) in the 1950s and 60s.
@@GarethColquhoun I won't disagree with you, but with that family, how much more "interesting" can Godfrey take?
There's only one Perry Mason and that is the 1950s and 60s show ;) forget that horrid 70's remake and the mess HBO is doing.
William Powell and the actor who played the father, also appeared together in the Thin Man
I love the opening scene so much, where they pan down from the neon lights to the Hooverville under the bridge. The steam and shadows look beautiful in black and white.
Looks like nice picture quality. Thumbs up. I've seen this flick at least 10 times. It's one of my faves.
I lost count of how many times I've seen it. 😄
Love ms . Lombard and Mr Powell together and my other favourite pairing is Mr Powell and Ms Myrna Loy in the Thin man. Two of the sexiest pairings in cinema.
No coincidence both involve Mr Powell.
When I was young, my family would rent 16 millimeter films from our local library (a decade before VHS) and this was always my favorite one.
Wow, sounds like a cool family!
What a wonderful idea ❤️
Classic. Carole Lombard such a beauty. Thanks for upload.
And those slinky gowns - hubba hubba hubba!
Was married & divorced from Godfrey in real life.
Did not know that 😬 they were married , sad event when she perished in the plane accident a few years after this film was made ! Clark Gabel was never the same it's been said .
I don't know which is more impressive--the dress Carol Lombard is wearing in the first scenes, or the cinematography that makes it shimmer like magic! It sparkles in the night of the dump, but when she comes into the hotel, its radiance put me into a trance! Wow! I had to stop the video and watch it twice just to see how beautiful the dress and the photography were. I can only imagine the effect it had on the big screen in a dark theater.
A true icon, William Powell was fantastic in countless film, but THIS is his tour de force, to my mind. He's so brilliant here it's almost supernatural. Thanks for posting.
A Wonderful and Humorous Classic Movie, with Great Acting...I could watch this movie over and over. I just love Godfrey, myself, as well❤️
This is one of my ultimate five movies 😊. Thank you so much!

Same here. Watched for the first time and I loved it!
It really surprised me :)
I'm so happy to see so many people are watching it and enjoying this wonderful movie as much as I do!😀👏👏👏👏
Same here. Love this one.
Always been a big fan of Williams and The Thin Man movies, and this gem is no exception, absolutely classic.
Wow. There is so much talking and so little camera movement. The exact opposite of today movies. I like that.
Dialogue. Especially of the sharp, witty variety. That’s in short supply today.
50:27
“I’m rather proud of my job here.”
“You’re proud of being a butler?”
“I’m proud of being a *good* butler, sir.... and I may add, sir, a butler has to be good to hold his job here.”
That is some good lines right there. Even if you’re not proud of your job, at least be proud of being good at that job.
A "Must See" for anyone who loves classic films.
This movie gets better every time I watch it. Thank-you for posting.
Beautiful copy of a tremendous movie...THANKS!
One of my favorite movies of all time. Screwball comedy at its finest. 😄
19:24 - such a funny scene - but that lamp with the prisms is to die for. So much beautiful decor in this movie. The set designers went all out. Everything about this movie,from the junkyard forgotten men to the wealthy , the script & message & all of the actors & actresses...Just can't beat it. Opportunities/jobs rather than handouts are the best future. Handouts are a poverty trap. Even that bum protege Carlo found that out. 😁👍👍👍👍
THE GOVT WOULD ARGUE ITS NOT TRU THAT'S Y THEY KEEP THEIR HANDOUT
Great movie on many levels- and Powell was his wonderful suave self- and Carol Lombard brilliant and a real delight!
I can’t believe I haven’t found this gem sooner! I guess I needed it now. What a an absolute wonderful movie 🎥! I’m sure my parents (God rest their souls) loved it too! Thank you ☺️, truly Heaven sent!
me me me
Seconded!
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. First saw this in a film class in college and loved it ever since.
"It's hard to make beds when they are full of people". The mad cap comedy achieved perfection in the 1930's. Great entertainment, this film.
I am a big fan of this movie and William Powell and Carol Lombard. Each and every actor chosen for this movie were the right choices. I could talk about each one and sing their praises. Here I mention Jean Dixon who plays Molly the maid. I love the interaction of her and Godfrey. Sharing the insanity of the Bullock family together. If you are a fan of William Powell please watch Double Wedding another great cast.
This is one of my favorite movies. A real classic that has tremendous acting and interesting plot. Love it!
A terrific movie amazing job thank you so much
Bette Davis would say, "What a DUMP!" LOL
Wow. At 1:29 there is so much in one beautiful shot .
A beautiful 1936 Pierce Arrow Metropolitan Town Car with body by Brunn
High Art Deco Style in the building, "The Dump"
A boat I cannot identify
The East River in NYC
The Queensboro Bridge, aka the 59th Steet Bridge
The bridge is also visible through the window at 1:28
Building, work, jobs and wealth all rising from the former dump.
(OK, "The Dump" is filmed in front of a screen, but it's a great shot.)
This film is a witty masterpiece! I cannot believe I am seeing it for the first time in Jan 2022. Wonderful. Thank you so much for uploading. I would never have seen it otherwise.
One of the BEST movies ever!! A true CLASSIC..!! Thanks! 👏❤💕
@Bette Chic, you can say that again! 👍 👏
Love watching this old movies and looking up the actors afterward
"Stand still Godfrey. It'll all be over in a minute." :-)
😂
"See you in church."
Every line in the script is so unique. I am finding myself memorizing Godfrey's lines. Hahahahah
"Irene is so peculiar, she shouts when she wins and cries when she is happy. "
Yes, a real woman indeed.
Great movie and it amazes me how much the message of the movie applies to this very time..
Carols Interpretation of a 'Ditsy' women is to Perfection.. One of my Favorite Movies...
The finest in the screwball tradition. There aren’t many films I pity people for not being taken by as I can recognize and appreciate different palates in filmgoers, but this is one of the exceptions. It’s just so....faultless, so obviously great and effective. Loving it is as simple yet as rewarding as breathing. My favorite moment is Godfrey and Cornelia’s final interaction. To think where they started, to seeing the full weight Godfrey turns out to have had in Cornelia’s life, and will continue to have...entire runtimes of countless other films don’t capture the surprising layers of mutual understanding, the startling decency of such a moment. It’s not overplayed either, her being overcome upon his exit says it all. I’d kill to see this again for the first time.
It never gets old. Classsic
This is such a great movie with a great message for our society!
I finally see this famous film! Only a couple minutes in and I find it very touching and funny too - great performances!
You have brought such a wonderful era back to life by doing what you do.
So, in case I forget to let you know, I am ever thankful to you for doing this for us. 👏👏👏👏
WOW. Masterpiece. Make american film great like this again...
Carole Lombard was so brilliant. She died way to young. I sometimes wonder where her career would have gone had she lived longer.
I don't know why they divorced but I thought he was very much in love with her, just as Clarke Gable did
One of William Powell's best films, right up there with the Thin Man series. Thank you so much!
I said the exact same thing this is actually one of his greatest films up there with the thin Man
William Powell is one of my favorite actors. His portrayal as Nick Charles is iconic, but another of my favorites is his role as the aging ship's doctor in "Mr. Roberts". His head certainly belongs on my personal "Mount Rushmore" of movie stars.
#Alan Macmillan Really? I’ve never heard of Mr Roberts, I’ll have to look into it.
@@JustAPrayer Wonderful picture with Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon and Jimmy Cagney. Check it out...think you'll like it.
@@allanmacmillan7823the follow up Ensign Pulver is pretty good too.
I would have held out for Carole Lombard, as well! She is delightful here.
I had never seen this until it came on my Roku channel and it was delightful! Liked it so much I bought a copy for my collection! They just don’t make films like this anymore....because they don’t have actors like Carole Lombard,she was wonderful!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I cannot think of a modern actress who could play the part of Irene (or an actor who could play Godfrey for that matter)
its a shame that they dont make movies like this any more but then there are no actors like william powell or carole lombard a true classy classic movie
The mother and father……in fact the whole cast is hysterical!
"I'm in the habit of hitting gentlemen also, if that'll interest you." One of cinemas all time great lines, delivered by one of the all time great actors.
One of the best movies ever!
Excellent movie, well acted, cute plot and great actors and actresses. I keep watching it over and over. Now one of my favorites.
0ne of my favorite movies of all ttime.
You like seeing women portrayed as fools, eh?
It is this film that truly shows what a beautiful voice William Powell had, and how lovely Carole Lombard was.
That was a weird, other worldly experience. Thanks for the upload PizzaFlix.
That is called a screwball comedy. It's kinda a cross between what movie became and plays put on in Vaudevillian acts. The Sets, on stage, of course, were limited, so the dialogue was snappy and fast-paced. Thus in these movies, they basically just did the play with a bit better sets and the same type of dialogue.
A classic, one of the best..........William Powell always a class act💖💖💖
🍕This is a true Golden Oldie!!!! Thanks🍕💕💕💕
The opening credits , perfection . The good , bad and camp !
Now I see where Meg Ryan, Goldie Hawn, and many others got their inspiration. Carole Lombard is brilliant.
best screwball comedy ever, with a satirical bite. one of the top films of the 1930s.
"A three letter sea bird with an R in the middle" is an ERN
I always thought this was strange since on the x-words I've done it's always been a 4 letter word and the answer was TERN.
@@ih82r8 I believe ern is a poetic abbreviation
Thanks for that. They rather left that hanging.
I thought she said a three letter "c" word with an "r" in the middle. I was thinking the answer is "cry".
Great film and object lesson.
In many countries in 1936 a "Godfrey" would have "saved" the forgotten man by sending him off to a farm collective somewhere.
In America, Our Man Godfrey starts a business.
Bravo!
Nice way of seeing it. Well done.
@@theloniousMac and other people have to subsidize it, since the American Godfrey is 100% incapable of making his own way, despite what lies about capitalism liars tell.
@@heddalee have seen a small town of 30,000 people barely getting a chance to stay alive doing farming and selling their food to poor people . And a city became a fast growing with tall buildings and many Companies moving in and no Banks with money
The people all use a cell phone to buy everything no Checks, Credit Cards, Dibet Card and no people's to work in stores just your voice and your cellphone with a code of a square code that your cellphone makes a transaction of money
No money to steal and makes s different of cost the electronic system of a cellphone in 20 years has a population is 54,000,000 to become even more high speed train of 250 mph going everywhere and cars and streets and freeways no stopping and a lot of investment to make money and no steeling of money
Our Dollar is worth 2 cents now because of the Banks leading more money at high interest 30% and some in the mail wanted 96% even 135% all in very small print to read
Quicken Loans like you will die if you have no money a. Way to getting duper in debt.
As the world seems to be morphing into a lawless chunk of whackadoodle, I've taken to watching this film every single night as I drift off to sleep. And it restores my heart on a Jesus level!
Wow! I do this too 🙂😴 this movie and sometimes His Girl Friday.
Sounds like a great idea! I love this movie
Jean Dixon was such a delight
Agree. She's a great addition to the movie - Godfrey's comrade in arms - who falls in love with him herself!
