My Man Godfrey: In this classic screw-ball comedy, socialite Carole Lombard hires William Powell as a butler, thinking she's giving a break to a tramp - but he's not what she thinks, and shows that money isn't everything. Both leads scored OSCAR nominations, as did Mischa Auer and Alice Brady (Best Supporting Actor and Actress) director Gregory LaCava and the script by Morrie Ryskind and original author Eric Hatch. His Girl Friday: Conniving city editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant) is determined to keep ace reporter Hildy Johnson - who's also his ex-wife from leaving the newspaper business to marry Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy). But an escaped convict may be just what Walter needs to keep her on the job, in this fast and furious version of the stage hit The Front Page, directed at breakneck speed by the legendary Howard Hawkes.
