Synopsis
MY MAN GODFREY
Set in the glamorous but troubled world of 1930s New York society, My Man Godfrey is a fast-paced comedy about wealth, privilege, romance, and the surprising ways people can change. During a wild scavenger hunt, wealthy socialite Irene Bullock encounters Godfrey Parke, a dignified man living among the “forgotten men” at a city dump. On a whim, Irene hires him as the family butler. Godfrey quickly becomes indispensable to the chaotic Bullock household, bringing order and common sense to a family whose extravagant lifestyle is increasingly out of touch with the realities of the Great Depression. As Godfrey becomes part of the family, he must navigate Irene’s unpredictable affection, Cornelia’s hostility, the family's eccentric behavior, and a series of increasingly ridiculous situations. Beneath the comedy, however, Godfrey's own mysterious past begins to emerge. With screwball humor, romance, physical comedy, and social satire, My Man Godfrey contrasts the carefree excesses of the wealthy with the struggles of those left behind. At its heart is the unlikely relationship between Godfrey and Irene… and the question of who really needs to be rescued.
