My Man Godfrey (1936) is a witty screwball comedy that dives into class differences and social responsibility with humor and heart. The film follows Godfrey, a down-and-out “forgotten man” living in a city dump, who is unexpectedly swept up in the chaotic lives of a wealthy, eccentric family. Played by William Powell, Godfrey is recruited by flighty socialite Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) as part of a scavenger hunt challenge to find a “forgotten man.” When Irene impulsively hires him as the family’s butler, Godfrey takes on the role, bringing order and wisdom to the household, despite its dysfunction.

As Godfrey navigates the family’s absurd quirks, his intelligence and integrity begin to reveal that there is more to him than meets the eye. Over time, Irene’s attraction to him grows, adding a romantic twist to their interactions. Through Godfrey’s guidance, the Bullocks start to question their own superficial lives. With sharp humor, social commentary, and an unlikely love story, *My Man Godfrey* is a timeless classic that champions kindness, resilience, and the notion that people are much more than their circumstances.
