I could see why this film is a comedy classic. William Powell played Godfrey, a Manhattan transient, who becomes a butler in an Upper East home. Carol Lombard is perfect in her role as one of the unmarried daughters. She and her sister have a scavenger hunt in New York City. Godfrey becomes more than just a butler but a member of the family. This ninety minutes film in black and white still holds up today for its sparkling dialogue and comedic humor of life in the upper classes during the Great Depression.

Irony. splendid performances. social critic. and a fairy tale. a film about people, perspectives, using a noble message and the right cast. and a brilliant script. in fact, a parable about selfishness and superficiality. special for the bitter humor and the impecable dialogues. and, sure, for the portrait of a familiar world, maybe too obvious but enough for succes to large public. the great virtue - maybe the performance of Will Powell and the adorable sweetness of Carole Lombard in two roles who are not real unique in the context of the cinema of period but who works in beautiful manner. and, maybe, that is the key for the seductive force of this old movie about money, family, society and ...love.

My Man Godfrey – Ted Tetzlaff as cinematography capture a great moment and smoothly tilt and panning shot, for example when William walking to the stairs, camera dolly was perfect follow his steps towards the room, you can see no cuts and brought attention to what will be next. Editing technique and final touches made the movie looks great and no need of miss any moments of scene. Connection of dialogue and music were done professional no jump cut meanwhile the editor did wonderful job. My Man Godfrey – Definitely has quality and artistic eyes setting. During reviews you can see that director and the team did an amazing scene setup and makes viewers to keep watching the film. For example the scene at the "Dump" where forgotten man lived you can see how decorative and looks real life. well done music director Charles Previn, we see romantic background music after William became a butler and more sound effects like the sound of horse when Mr. Eugene opened the door. The music tells us what will happen on scene. Subsequently when Godfrey had talk with Carol and suddenly Irene Appeared their dialog was followed by background romantic music that clarified the scene into love.– Eventually, it's an amazing movie, romantic drama and comedy that inspired my career. Scene setup both interior and exterior was well decorated and makes viewers keep looking at what next. Dialog is smooth moving and understandable, most of the scene was interior and created a romantic looks.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and light hearted which i really love in a movie. It had some more serious social implications within it which is key to making a good movie but it didn't let it slow down the comedy, it used it to its advantage. It really makes fun of the dramatic upper class women of the time. I love the female leads, they are especially hysterical. What makes this movie great is a grounded story with a social note but a focus on great characters with fun personalities. The fast pace keeps the movie flowing and always entertaining even up till the end as things get more serious. Overall this is a great movie that is funny and goofy to no end, I would recommend.
