Synopsis

A bowery bum (William Powell) crosses paths with a young heiress and ends up in the unlikely job of butler for her wealthy family in this screwball comedy from the Great Depression era. But when the daughter ends up falling in love with him, it’s revealed there’s more to Godfrey than meets the eye! This delightful film was a runaway smash hit upon release and went on to garner six Oscar nominations, including Best Actor, Actress, Director and Screenplay.
