Introduction by Prof. Noah Isenberg

The rules of screwball often invite a few jabs at the gilded class, uncovering the warts and blemishes that lie buried beneath its shiny surface. Dynamic duo Carole Lombard and William Powell enact the classic Lady-for-a-Day scheme, revamped by giving the total makeover to bum-turned-butler Godfrey (Powell), who unwittingly becomes attached to a zany socialite (Lombard). Thanks to the hilarious performances of the two leads, the picture retains its luster. D: Gregory La Cava, US, 1936, 94m
