VHS Movie Reviews of My Man Godfrey
Movie Review: "The Butler DOES It"
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, the butler, does it. William Powell, a hobo, is found as a "lost man" needed for a scavenger hunt. He winds up being the real butler when Irene, Carole Lombard brings him into the home of her eccentric, wealthy family of screwballs. "Godfrey" teaches the family quite a few lessons they badly need. There are hilarious moments in this film, provided by a cast of characters that are real characters. An early comedy whose entertainment value improves with age.Movie Review: My Man godfrey
Summary: 4 Stars
The company was very responsive and gave me opportunity to report any problems also one of my favorite movies!!Movie Review: sometimes classics can't be matched
Summary: 5 Stars
My Man Godfrey {1936} is a classic in every sense of the word. It is a wonderful picture of Have's and Have's Not during a period that was hard on even some of the Have's. It is a study of human nature and filled with characters so different from each other to give a fantastic picture of humanity. William Powell gives a performance that shows why he was a major box office draw. It is a movie not to be missed. If only to make you think about where you fit in the scheme of society.Movie Review: Nice Movie, Bad Presentation
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't buy this one! Nice example of the 30's screwball comedy genre. But this particular DVD version (My Man Godfrey) is badly flawed by the insertion throughout the whole movie of a "bug" in the lower right of the picture. The bug is "RE" which evidently stands for "Reel Enterprises," the copyright owner for this version. Why would they deface such a good movie by inserting such a distraction? Surely not for the publicity; I'll never buy another product from Reel Enterprises. Movie Review: A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
A must have for any classic movie collection. A great screwball comedy with a terrific storyline. How can you go wrong with such a great price and a good clean copy!
Summary of My Man Godfrey
Director Gregory La Cava deftly balances satire, romance, and social comment in this 1936 classic, which echoes Frank Capra in its Depression-era subtext. The Bullocks are a well-heeled, harebrained Manhattan family genetically engineered for screwball collisions: father Alexander (Eugene Pallette, of the foghorn voice and thick-knit eyebrows) is the breadwinner at wit's end, thanks to his spoiled daughters, the sultry Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and the sweet but scatterbrained Irene (a luminous Carole Lombard), his dizzy and doting wife, Angelica (Alice Brady), and her "prot?g?," Italian freeloader Carlo (Mischa Auer). When Irene wins a society scavenger hunt (and atypically trumps her scheming sister) by producing a "lost man," a seeming tramp named Godfrey (William Powell), all their lives are transformed. With the always suave, effortlessly funny Powell in the title role, this mystery man provides the film's conscience and its model of decency; the giddy, passionate Lombard holds out its model for triumphant love. In a movie riddled with memorable comic highlights, the real miracle is the unapologetic romanticism that prevails. --Sam SutherlandClass Differences Video
