My Man Godfrey**
US 1936. Universal. 90m. bw
A destitute man is rescued from the slums and adopted as butler by an eccentric New York family, but turns out to be an ex-millionaire himself on the skids.
Pleasurable screwball comedy combined with Depression era overtones: in the latter regard hardly very incisive but the production is quite slick and stylish, and the cast certainly sparkles in all directions.
Written by: Morrie Ryskind, Gregory La Cava, Eric Hatch, from his novel.
Producer/ Director: Gregory La Cava.
Starring: William Powell, Carole Lombard, Gail Patrick, Alice Brady, Eugene Pallette, Mischa Auer, Jean Dixon, Alan Mowbray, Robert Light, Pat Flaherty.
Photography: Ted Tatzlaff.
Musical Direction: Charles Previn.
Art Direction: Charles D. Hall.
