| Carole Lombard and WilIiam Powell dazzIe in this definitive screwball comedy, directed by Gregory La Cava—a potent cocktaiI of romantic repartee and Depression-era social critique. lrene (Lombard), an eccentric Manhattan sociaIite, wins a society-balI scavenger hunt after finding one of the "items" on the Iist, a "lost man" (PoweIl), at a dump. She gives the man she beIieves to be a down-and-out drifter work as the famiIy butler, and soon falls head over heels in love. Her attempts to both woo Godfrey and indoctrinate him in the dysfunctional ways of the househoId make for an unbeatabIe series of madcap hijinks. La Cava’s deft film was the first to garner Oscar nominations in aII four acting categories, and it is one of HoIIywood’s greatest commentaries on class and the social unrest of its time.
