My Man Godfrey (1936)

1936
• Introduction by Antonia Carlotta, Great-Grandniece of Universal Studios Founder Carl Laemmle •
Screwball comedy is defined in this Depression-era delight starring William Powell as a mysteriously well-mannered “forgotten man” hired as a butler by a ditzy heiress (Carole Lombard, in peak comic form). It’s fast-paced and full of social satire, mixing laughs with heart. Nominated for six Oscars, including acting nods for both stars, it remains one of the all-time greats of 1930s comedy. If you’ve never seen it, come see it on the big scree with an audience. You’ll thank us! • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.
