My Man Godfrey | William Powell, Carole Lombard | Classic Hollywood Comedy | Full Movie

My Man Godfrey Director: Gregory La Cava Cast: William Powell, Carole Lombard, Alice Brady, Gail Patrick, Eugene Pallette, Mischa Auer Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, My Man Godfrey is one of the crown jewels of Hollywood's Golden Age a razor-sharp screwball comedy that manages to be both side-splittingly funny and surprisingly poignant. The story begins at a lavish society party where the eccentric and impossibly wealthy Bullock family is taking part in a scavenger hunt. The task? Find a "forgotten man." That forgotten man turns out to be Godfrey (William Powell) a witty, dignified drifter living in a shantytown by the East River. When the warm-hearted youngest Bullock daughter, Irene (Carole Lombard), brings him back to the party, Godfrey wins her admiration not just as a scavenger hunt trophy, but as a human being of rare intelligence and grace. Feeling guilty about the absurdity of the game, she offers him a job as the family butler and he accepts. What follows is a gloriously chaotic comedy of manners. The Bullock household is, to put it charitably, a madhouse: a scatterbrained mother who keeps a bohemian freeloader named Carlo around as her "protégé," a cynical eldest daughter Cornelia who immediately despises Godfrey, a bumbling but lovable father Alexander who quietly despairs of his family's antics, and the lovesick Irene, who promptly decides that Godfrey is her new "protégé" whether he likes it or not. But Godfrey is no ordinary butler. As he navigates the breathtaking eccentricities of the idle rich with deadpan composure, it slowly becomes clear that there is far more to this "forgotten man" than meets the eye. His quiet observations cut to the heart of what it means to have wealth without wisdom, and purpose without privilege. At a time when millions of Americans were struggling to survive, My Man Godfrey dared to ask: who, really, is the most lost? Awards: Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, the first film in history to receive nominations in all four acting categories (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress), as well as Best Director and Best Screenplay. #ClassicMovies #FullMovie #FreeMovies #MyManGodfrey #ClassicHollywood #WilliamPowell #CaroleLombard Ride the waves of nostalgia with ‪@MovieSurfClassics‬ your ultimate home for the timeless magic of the Silver Screen.
