About the event

Summer of Satire: My Man Godfrey (1936)
In this Depression Era satire of the upper class, the hairbrained daughter (Lombard) of a rich and eccentric family brings a ‘hobo’ (Powell) home as an item in a scavenger hunt but soon discovers that he is more than he seems. An all-around masterpiece of chemistry and comic-timing with a potent social conscience. [NH]

1936 • dir Gregory La Cava w/William Powell, Carole Lombard, Alice Brady, Eugene Pallette • 94 min • DCP
