Amazon.com essential video:
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 "protégé," 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 Sutherland

A wonderful look back in time with outstanding cast from top to bottom.
You get Two movies ( one in black & white and one in color ). This fine
movie also received 6 Academy Award nominations. You can't go wrong with
this great movie. Enjoy !

The B&W version I bought from Amazon.com was fine - good drama comedy. However, was disappointed in the color I bought from you next as there were glitches in the colorized version and also missing parts in this version. Maybe the next "color batch run" version will be better. If so, I'd like to trade in the last one I bought.

As a 30 year old person, I was always skeptical about getting into watching the classics. Then one day after tooling around on IMDB, I noticed that there was a Top 250 according to users. I have seen alot of movies. My collection of DVDs is over 1500 and counting but nothing was prior to 1970 so I decided as a self proclaimed "Movie Buff" that I could not continue on without seeing these Top 250.
My Man Godfrey is one of those movies that once you see it, you are aware of how much ... Read More

If you like william Powell you will thoroughly enjoy My Man Godfrey. This is a clever comedy, quick witted and masterfully acted. It holds some surprises as well! Bravo cast!!rwm

We all know the movie. Cute, funny, a comic morality play. But, the most important thing is the quality. This is the best version of both the color, and black & white that I've ever seen. A must have for that reason alone. And besides, it's a great movie!
