My Man Godfrey (1936) is a landmark screwball comedy directed by Gregory La Cava. When a down-on-his-luck man named Godfrey (William Powell) is discovered during a scavenger hunt and hired as the butler for the rich, chaotic Hamilton family, his quiet dignity and wry wit unsettle their pampered lives. Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) becomes entwined with him as witty banter and social satire unfold. The film blends fast dialogue, romance, and pointed class critique into a timeless classic.
