Soon, the dramatizing Irene is in love with her 'protege'...who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant's mysterious past... Reviews: "I don't want to be one of those "they don't make 'em like they used to" people, but I just can't help it when it comes to comedy. We've lost that talent completely, it seems. I can't think of any really great comedies of the past ten years. The golden age for film comedy was the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s (at least for the talkies; silent comedies were a totally different art form). This is also the period of the screwball comedy. My Man Godfrey was one of the first screwball comedies. Films such as Bringing Up Baby and The Lady Eve perfected the form, but My Man Godfrey is nearly as perfect. It isn't quite as funny as Bringing Up Baby nor is it as emotionally resonant as The Lady Eve, but it is funny, it has depression era social commentary (its main theme is identical to Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels, beating it by 6 years), and the script is marvelous. The finale is as good as any other comic finale, including the last scene of Some Like it Hot." written by "zetes" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) My Man Godfrey Argentina La porfiada Irene Australia My Man Godfrey Austria Sie und der Kammerdiener Brazil Irene, a Teimosa Canada (French title) My Man Godfrey Canada (English title) My Man Godfrey Denmark Godfrey ordner alt Finland Godfrey järjestää kaiken France Godfrey France Mon homme Godfrey France (reissue title) My Man Godfrey Germany (DVD title) Mein Mann Godfrey Germany Mein Mann Godfrey Greece (transliterated title) O andras mou, o alitis Greece (TV title) Kamarieris gia oles tis douleies Hungary My Man Godfrey Hungary (TV title) Godfrey, a lakáj Hungary Finom család Italy L'impareggiabile Godfrey Japan Tsuzure to hôseki Japan (Japanese title) 襤褸と宝石 Mexico Porfiada Irene Netherlands (literal title) Mijn man Godfrey Norway Godfrey kan alt Poland Mój pan mąż Portugal Doidos Milionários Romania Valetul meu Godfrey Soviet Union (Russian title) Мой слуга Годфри Spain Al servicio de las damas Sweden Godfrey ordnar allt Turkey (Turkish title) Lüks Hayat UK My Man Godfrey USA My Man Godfrey West Germany Mein Mann Godfrey Yugoslavia (Serbian title) (literal title) Diskretni sobar Godfri ···················································································· FOLLOW US! ✘ Twitter -   / artflixtv   SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership: https://bit.ly/33nGlVm MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: https://bit.ly/3yP7UR2 ► Classic Movies: https://bit.ly/2VhJRN2 ► All Playlists: https://bit.ly/2AsmqTR #classicmovies #filmnoir #oldmovies ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
