A “forgotten man” named Godfrey (played by the charming William Powell) finds a path to redemption when he’s hired on as the butler to the rich, bored, and otherwise useless Bullock family… for some reason?  And he sure shows them a thing or two about their vapid existence as they all inevitably fall in love with him… for some reason?  Regardless, this is a top-form Depression-era Hollywood wish-fulfillment fantasy.

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita (1960).
