| My Man Godfrey | comment |
My Man Godfrey is a 1936 Screwball Comedy film directed by Gregory La Cava, based on the novel 1101 Park Avenue by Eric S. Hatch. It stars William Powell and Carole Lombard, and was the first film to receive Academy Award nominations in all four acting categories; it was also a favorite of Roger Ebert, who included it on his Great Movies List. It got a remake in 1957 starring David Niven and June Allyson, but that version is generally seen as far inferior to the original, and has been pretty much forgotten.The Bullocks are a wealthy New York City family consisting of gruff businessman Alexander (Eugene Pallette), his pampered wife Angelica (Alice Brady), and their two spoilt daughters. One evening, the family participate in a scavenger hunt at a party full of their well-off socialite friends and have to search for items in order to win prizes. Rich Bitch daughter Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and her Spoiled Sweet sister Irene (Lombard) are after the rarest find of them all: a "forgotten man".The sisters visit a junkyard full of homeless men who have been affected by The Great Depression. There, they find Godfrey (Powell), who is offended by the game and refuses to be taken by Cornelia to be teased by the rich. Irene, meanwhile, is guilty about her intentions and later offers him a job as a butler for their family's mansion, much to Cornelia's annoyance.When Godfrey arrives the next morning, he is welcomed by an exhausted maid to a wild mansion full of snide commentators, eccentric women, and social drunkards. It only gets even more confusing when Irene develops a crush on him, while her father is struggling to keep his finances. Behind the scenes, the envious Cornelia is suspicious of Godfrey's history after spotting him getting friendly in a cafe with locals on his day off and intends to find out his true intentions.Hilarity Ensues. | |

Forceful Kiss: Irene pretends that she's feeling faint and lies on the sofa. When Godfrey leans over to check her, Irene clutches his face and pulls him into a kiss. When Irene's done, Godfrey tries to walk away as stoic as possible. | |

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_1a09b4f9 | comment |
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Irene vs Cornelia. Irene is blonde and Cornelia is brunette. There isn't really a smart/pretty dichotomy but Cornelia is quieter than the energetic Irene. When Godfrey rejects Cornelia's offer to be her entry in the scavenger hunt by making her fall into a pile of dirt, Irene takes him instead (mostly because she was much more polite). Even Godfrey is amazed when he discovers that the two of them are related. Cornelia is arguably a bit more classist than Irene. When playing the scavenger hunt, she gleefully rushes to a homeless Godfrey and is disgusted when she finds out he's going to be the family butler, attempting to have him fired by accusing him of stealing. Irene felt sorry for him and immediately asks him to be the family butler because she didn't want to look like she was just dehumanising him for a point-and-laugh game in front of rich people. This is why Cornelia spends the movie trying to find out Godfrey's history whilst Irene attempts to make him declare his love for her. Cornelia has feelings for him too, which adds to her and her sister's bickering. | |

| My Man Godfrey / int_23ff95fb | comment |
Brutal Honesty: Godfrey to the rich people at the Scavenger Hunt. He explains that he had two reasons to accompany Irene: to help her, and "to see how a bunch of empty-headed nitwits conduct themselves". Having achieved both, he expresses delight at the idea of returning to "a society of really important people" back at the dump. | |

Frame-Up | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_2d363f63 | comment |
Frame-Up: When Godfrey rebuffs Cornelia's attempts to seduce him, she tries to get him fired by hiding her pearls under his mattress and dramatically announcing to her family that they have been stolen, leading the police to get involved. However, the plan blows up in her face when the police overturn Godfrey's mattress and find nothing, leading Cornelia to exclaim "They must be there!", revealing the entire plot to all present. Mr. Bullock rubs salt in the wound by telling Cornelia the pearls aren't insured, so she won't be able to replace them. It turns out Godfrey found the pearls and hid them before the police arrived; he later pawns them to raise money to buy up the de-valued Bullock Enterprises stock, which he signs over to the Bullocks to save them from financial ruin. He has more than enough money left over to buy back the ashamed Cornelia's pearls. | |

Sexy Soaked Shirt: Godfrey figures out that Irene is faking a fainting spell, so he puts her in a shower and turns the water on. The results are pretty fanservice-y. This also causes Irene to realize that Godfrey cared enough to help her when she "fainted". | |

The Thing That Would Not Leave: As far as Mr. Bullock is concerned, Carlo is a parasite who exists only to mooch free room and board from the family under the excuse of being Mrs. Bullock's "protégé", even though he never seems to get any closer to giving any of the concerts he is supposedly practising for; he spends more time eating than playing the piano, and whenever he does play, he only ever seems to rehearse the same few measures of the Russian song "Очи чёрные" ("Dark Eyes") - in his last scene, he is trying to sing and eat at the same time. Eventually, Mr. Bullock has enough and literally throws him out. | |

She attempts to work out whether he's as innocent as the homelessness led him to be and even tries to accuse him of stealing from her. When he decides to leave, she is devastated and apologizes in tears, but Godfrey reassures her that his choice had nothing to do with her. Looks like she had a crush on him too, like her sister. | |

Oh, Crap!: Godfrey gets this expression at the Bullocks' tea party when Tommy Gray arrives; they know each other of old, and as Godfrey has been trying to keep the details of his past life a secret, he is very worried that those details are about to spill out in a torrent. (Luckily, he is able to come up with a ruse about being Tommy's former valet, and Tommy picks up on just enough cues to play along.) | |

Heartbroken Badass: As Godfrey explains to Tommy Gray, a failed romance from his days as the scion of a rich Boston family sent him on a downward spiral that left him contemplating jumping into the East River, and only a chance encounter with the derelicts by the river bank persuaded him to adopt their resilient attitude toward life's troubles, thanks to which he has developed the intelligence and savvy to become a shrewd businessman. | |

Last-Minute Hookup | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_c9c317cd | comment |
Last-Minute Hookup: When Godfrey decides to leave, Irene tracks him down to a nightclub. She hires a priest and makes Godfrey's work partner and her chauffeur wedding guests, reassuring Godfrey that everything "will be over soon". | |

Idle Rich | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_deea2fb5 | comment |
Idle Rich: All of the Bullocks except Mr. Bullock. The satirical bite of these Idle Rich going to a dump to find the "forgotten man" was strong in the Great Depression, when there were a lot of forgotten men. | |

Literal-Minded | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_e2a41c3b | comment |
Literal-Minded: Mrs. Bullock has a weak grasp of figures of speech. For example, when Irene is melodramatically moping over Godfrey's initial rejection (which Godfrey ignores and Cornelia mocks) ahead of a tea party, she is asked where she would like the sandwiches served: | |

The Ditz | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: Mrs. Bullock is so dizzy she is unable to correctly recall the man her daughter announced her engagement two mere moments earlier. Irene herself is also a bit empty-headed, though she has a much more forceful personality than her vague mother. | |

Servile Snarker | |
| My Man Godfrey / int_ef20dac5 | comment |
Servile Snarker: Molly the maid. After dealing with a family like the Bullocks, it's not surprising. Godfrey is sharper-tongued, but blunted by Irene, who doesn't see through his comments. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Mr. Bullock vents his spleen at his family for spending 50% of their income when he has to pay 60% to the government in tax. Irene asks why he should give more to the government than to his own family. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Inverted with Godfrey, who begins the movie as a scruffy homeless man and ends as an elegant three-piece suit. Regardless, his actor William Powell goes from ruggedly-handsome to a handsome sharply-dressed man. | |
