Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock needs a "forgotten man" to win a scavenger hunt, and no one is more forgotten than Godfrey Park, who resides in a dump by the East River. Irene hires Godfrey as a servant for her riotously unhinged family, to the chagrin of her spoiled sister, Cornelia, who tries her best to get Godfrey fired. As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.

Great fun and doesn't feel its nearly-90-years of age. The script and performances are terrific; William Powell and Carole Lombard are brilliant fun as Godfrey and Irene but Jean Dixon as Molly the maid steals every scene she's in.

Doesn't live up to its classic reputation but still somewhat fun.

As far as screwball comedies of the 30s go, this one felt sub-par for me. It was hamstrung at times by poor direction and editing, most notably with several scenes that just felt like they dragged. A 90-minute screwball shouldn’t feel like it outstays its welcome, but this one did at times. William Powell continues to do no wrong, in my eyes, but I feel he lacked a connection with Carole Lombard here (because/despite? having divorced her three years prior) that ultimately made the central romance angle not very compelling. When compared to Hepburn/Grant, Russell/Grant, or Stanwyck/Fonda, I just didn’t find myself as invested here.

I see a room full of empty headed nitwits!

If I was the sort of person who scrutinised every frame of my viewings looking for flaws, then I still wouldn't have issue here because My Man Godfrey has no cracks in its make up. It is perfect cinema from a golden age that we rarely see in this day an More

This tremendously funny, high-society screwball comedy is a terrific romp with two of the greatest comedy stars of the Golden Era: William Powell and Myrna Loy. Both of them are beautiful with the comic timing; especially Powell with his amusing cynicism and dry wit. The script is very humorous an More

I am not one of those people who say that they don’t make movies like they used to, or who watches a lot of classic black and white films. But there are a few dozen classics I would watch any time they come on, and this is one of them.

My Man Godfrey is in the sub genre of screwball comedy, and More
