Review of My Man Godfrey (1936) by Samuel B — 24 Jan 2011
'My Man Godfrey' is quite entertaining and an interesting story. Godfrey, starts out as a character living during the Great Depression (as the film was 1936) in a dump by the river with lots of other 'ready to and willing to work' homeless characters.
He is approached by some drunken young wealthy socialites to partake in a game at random, and he winds up landing a job as their butler. With time we learn that there is more to Godfrey's story then originally thought, and it makes for an interesting movie.
Well done, and apparently they remade it in 1957 too. Also contains some interesting socio-economic commentary.
