[@unowen-nh9ov]

Wonderful chemistry - to a point, they were divorced by then, but could still star in this classic comedy together. Powell would go on to be engaged to Jean Harlow & Lombard would marry Clark Gable, both would end tragically. Fortunately Powell would beat cancer, marry a much younger starlet & live the rest of his long life with her.

Roger Ebert said it best - "God, but this film is beautiful. The cinematography by Ted Tetzlaff is a shimmering argument for everything I've ever tried to say in praise of black and white. Look me in the eye and tell me you would prefer to see it in color. The restored version on the Criterion DVD is particularly alluring in its surfaces. Everything that can shine, glimmers: the marble floors, the silver, the mirrors, the crystal, the satin sheen of the gowns. There is a tactile feel to the furs and feathers of the women's costumes, and the fabric patterns by designer Louise Brymer use bold splashes and zigs and zags of blacks and whites to arrest our attention. Every woman in this movie, in every scene, is wearing something that other women at a party would kill for. These tones and textures are set off with one of those 1930s apartments that is intended to look like a movie set, all poised for entrances and exits." "I found myself freezing the frame and simply appreciating compositions. Notice a shot when Godfrey exits screen right and the camera pans with him and then pushes to poor, sad Irene, seen through sculptured openings in the staircase and chewing the hem of her gown. Look for another composition balanced by a light fixture high on the wall to the right. You'll know the one." "The movie also benefits from the range of sharply defined characters, and the actors to play them. Even the biggest stars in those days were surrounded by other actors in substantial roles that provided them with counterpoint, with context, with emotional tennis partners. Notice here the work of Eugene Pallette, who bluntly speaks truth even though his family is deaf to him. By God, he's had enough: "What this family needs is discipline. I've been a patient man, but when people start riding horses up the front steps and parking them in the library, that's going a little too far. This family's got to settle down!" His voice is like a chain saw, cutting through the vapors around him." "This movie, and the actors in it, and its style of production, and the system that produced it, and the audiences that loved it, have all been replaced by pop culture of brainless vulgarity. But the movie survives, and to watch it is to be rescued from some people who don't care that it makes a difference ... to some people."

Fundamentally this is a film about spiritual transformation, the ability of individuals in suffering to learn wisdom, and to transcend beyond themselves. Interestingly enough Carol Lombard and William Powell had actually been married together prior to this film, though they had recently divorced. So after a long and arduous search for the Irene Bullock character, it was Powell who suggested using Lombard for knowing formidable her talent he knew she would be perfect for that role.

Carols Interpretation of a 'Ditsy' women is to Perfection.. One of my Favorite Movies...

Great film and object lesson. In many countries in 1936 a "Godfrey" would have "saved" the forgotten man by sending him off to a farm collective somewhere. In America, Our Man Godfrey starts a business. Bravo!

[@theloniousMac]

Nice way of seeing it. Well done.

[@heddalee]

@@theloniousMac and other people have to subsidize it, since the American Godfrey is 100% incapable of making his own way, despite what lies about capitalism liars tell.

@@heddalee have seen a small town of 30,000 people barely getting a chance to stay alive doing farming and selling their food to poor people . And a city became a fast growing with tall buildings and many Companies moving in and no Banks with money The people all use a cell phone to buy everything no Checks, Credit Cards, Dibet Card and no people's to work in stores just your voice and your cellphone with a code of a square code that your cellphone makes a transaction of money No money to steal and makes s different of cost the electronic system of a cellphone in 20 years has a population is 54,000,000 to become even more high speed train of 250 mph going everywhere and cars and streets and freeways no stopping and a lot of investment to make money and no steeling of money Our Dollar is worth 2 cents now because of the Banks leading more money at high interest 30% and some in the mail wanted 96% even 135% all in very small print to read Quicken Loans like you will die if you have no money a. Way to getting duper in debt.

The finest in the screwball tradition. There aren’t many films I pity people for not being taken by as I can recognize and appreciate different palates in filmgoers, but this is one of the exceptions. It’s just so....faultless, so obviously great and effective. Loving it is as simple yet as rewarding as breathing. My favorite moment is Godfrey and Cornelia’s final interaction. To think where they started, to seeing the full weight Godfrey turns out to have had in Cornelia’s life, and will continue to have...entire runtimes of countless other films don’t capture the surprising layers of mutual understanding, the startling decency of such a moment. It’s not overplayed either, her being overcome upon his exit says it all. I’d kill to see this again for the first time.

That was a weird, other worldly experience. Thanks for the upload PizzaFlix.

[@MrRondonmon]

That is called a screwball comedy. It's kinda a cross between what movie became and plays put on in Vaudevillian acts. The Sets, on stage, of course, were limited, so the dialogue was snappy and fast-paced. Thus in these movies, they basically just did the play with a bit better sets and the same type of dialogue.

Excellent movie, well acted, cute plot and great actors and actresses. I keep watching it over and over. Now one of my favorites.

[@Weirdkauz]

I can't believe I'd never seen this before! The title so familiar… what an absolute treat to be surprised by something as surprising as this zany classic. Gorgeous upload, dear, darling Pizza Flix, thank you ever so!

[@elenakennedy3801]

I love this movie. It's like watching my own family. Thank you for posting it.

[@annsmith7207]

Superb film and thank you for keeping it black and white which adds to the "moral" elements of the film.

[@plumjade4584]

So nice to see an uplifting classic during this dreadful pandemic. And in black and white tooo! Thanks so much!

[@RavenclawEspioXV]

Charming and timeless.

[@vanglover6030]

Thank you for posting a high quality video of this movie. It is far superior to another KZbin post of this classic film.

[@Planet_Molly]

As the world seems to be morphing into a lawless chunk of whackadoodle, I've taken to watching this film every single night as I drift off to sleep. And it restores my heart on a Jesus level!

[@mariavaughn8303]

Wow! I do this too 🙂😴 this movie and sometimes His Girl Friday.

[@ragtopannie]

Sounds like a great idea! I love this movie

[@shawnchristopherwhite3271]

I finally see this famous film! Only a couple minutes in and I find it very touching and funny too - great performances!

[@Caocao8888]

A great actor, William Powell made it all look so easy! Three Academy Award nominations, but no win. ☹️

[@patrooney2283]

[@debralerner68]

[@jackhayes5445]

High quality print. Very sharp images. . If you are not familiar with the movie, you are in for a treat.
