Customer Reviews

William Powell is at his best.

A dysfunctional but seemingly wealthy family takes in a new butler of dubious background. In return, the butler saves the family in more ways than one. (This is a comedy) I appreciate this movie on many levels. You may recognize several types just in the Bullock family. The interaction between Carole Lombard and William Powell is worth watching in itself. I particularly like it when Tommy Gray (Alan Mowbray) has to explain his earlier relationship with Godfrey. As good as this movie is, I still like the remake with David Niven and June Allyson just as well. “My Man Godfrey” (1957), but many of David Niven’s movies are hard to find. Such as "The Statue" and "Prudence and the Pill.”
