Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock needs a "forgotten man" to win a scavenger hunt, and no one is more forgotten than Godfrey Park, who resides in a dump by the East River. Irene hires Godfrey as a servant for her riotously unhinged family, to the chagrin of her spoiled sister, Cornelia, who tries her best to get Godfrey fired. As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.

William Powell's sophisticated and smart Godfrey earned him a lead actor nomination and Carole Lombard's ditzy Irene earned her a lead actress nomination.

But I'm going to keep trying for the 1930's, so I decided to follow the footsteps of the people here and check out a recently talked about movie on my favorite film forum: My Man Godfrey, one of the earliest talking screwball comedies.
