Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
While My Man Godfrey is full of witty dialogue and classical direction, it's the film's social awareness that really stands out today.

Gregory La Cava's improvisational style received its highest critical acclaim for this 1936 film, a marginally Marxist exercise in class confusion during the Depression.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
This scintillating comedy was the first film to be Oscar-nominated in all four acting categories.

Creative Loafing
Gregory La Cava's warm and giddy carousel, a raucous burlesque with a beautiful still center, a lighter and tarter savior fable than Capra's concurrent transmutations of the Gospels

CinePassion
William Powell and Carole Lombard are pleasantly teamed in this splendidly produced comedy.

[A] screwball masterpiece.

Village Voice
My Man Godfrey emerges with that evasive quality that is not skillful playing, writing or direction, but something that mysteriously adds itself to these things, and makes a tip-top picture.

Description by OLDIES.com:
During the height of the Great Depression, a scavenger hunt party game brings a pair of spoiled sisters, Irene and Cornelia Bullock (Carole Lombard and Gail Patrick) to a city dump looking for a "forgotten man." They find down-and-out hobo Godfrey Parks (William Powell), who accompanies one of the sisters back to the party to be presented as a scavenger hunt find, and ends up warily accepting her offer to become the family butler. Irene falls for Godfrey, but is unaware of his mysterious past. Nominated for six Academy Awards, My Man Godfrey might be the screwiest of all screwball comedies.
