Plot Summary
My Man Godfrey is one of the top Screwball Comedies of all time- a story of a wealthy New York family in the 1930's that brings in Godfrey, a destitute and "Forgotten Man" as their butler. William Powell plays the leading role brilliantly, and gives the family a madcap ride they will never forget. My Man Godfrey was the first film to receive Oscar® nominations in all four acting categories, including stunning performances by William Powell and Carole Lombard. Presented here beautifully restored and in color for the first time, this is the definitive edition of My Man Godfrey.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: There may be a sober moment or two in the picture; there may be a few lines of the script that do not pack a laugh. Somehow we cannot remember them.
Fresh: My Man Godfrey emerges with that evasive quality that is not skillful playing, writing or direction, but something that mysteriously adds itself to these things, and makes a tip-top picture.
Fresh: William Powell and Carole Lombard are pleasantly teamed in this splendidly produced comedy.
Fresh: [A] screwball masterpiece.

Make sure you get the COLOR version!
The Legend Films color version is restored and looks spectacular. It looks like My Man Godfrey was shot in color it is done so well. Highly recommend
A Real Treat with This One!
This film was such a treat to watch not just because of the fabulous color which makes everything pop, but William Powell and Carole Lombard are fantastic as usual; This is a great one to save for the end of the work week--Gives you something fun to look foward to!! Loved it!!
Well……...
Normally, I would raise heck with anyone who tried to colorize my black and whites. But seeing how every version of My Man Godfrey I've ever seen has been rough....I'll allow it. :)
