The Bullocks are a wealthy [[BigApplesauce New York City]] family consisting of gruff businessman Alexander (Eugene Pallette), his pampered wife Angelica (Alice Brady), and their two spoilt daughters. One evening, the family participate in a scavenger hunt at a party full of their well-off socialite friends and have to search for items in order to win prizes. RichBitch daughter Cornelia (Creator/GailPatrick) and her SpoiledSweet sister Irene (Lombard) are after the rarest find of them all: a "forgotten man".
The sisters visit a junkyard full of homeless men who have been affected by TheGreatDepression. There, they find Godfrey (Powell), who is offended by the game and refuses to be taken by Cornelia to be teased by the rich. Irene, meanwhile, is guilty about her intentions and later offers him a job as a butler for their family's mansion, much to Cornelia's annoyance.
When Godfrey arrives the next morning, he is welcomed by an exhausted maid to a wild mansion full of snide commentators, eccentric women, and social drunkards. It only gets even more confusing when Irene develops a crush on him, while her father is struggling to keep his finances. Behind the scenes, the envious Cornelia is suspicious of Godfrey's history after spotting him getting friendly in a cafe with locals on his day off and intends to find out his true intentions.

''My Man Godfrey'' is a 1936 ScrewballComedy film directed by Gregory La Cava, [[TheFilmOfTheBook based on]] the novel ''1101 Park Avenue'' by Eric S. Hatch. It stars Creator/WilliamPowell and Creator/CaroleLombard, and was the first film to receive UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nominations in all four acting categories; it was also a favorite of Creator/RogerEbert, who included it on his Great Movies List. It got a [[TheRemake remake]] in 1957 starring Creator/DavidNiven and Creator/JuneAllyson, but that version is generally seen as far inferior to the original, and has been pretty much forgotten.

* FrameUp: When Godfrey rebuffs Cornelia's attempts to seduce him, she tries to get him fired by hiding her pearls under his mattress and dramatically announcing to her family that they have been stolen, leading the police to get involved. However, the plan blows up in her face when the police overturn Godfrey's mattress and find nothing, leading Cornelia to exclaim "They ''must'' be there!", revealing the entire plot to all present. Mr. Bullock rubs salt in the wound by telling Cornelia the pearls aren't insured, so she won't be able to replace them. [[spoiler:It turns out Godfrey found the pearls and hid them before the police arrived; he later pawns them to raise money to buy up the de-valued Bullock Enterprises stock, which he signs over to the Bullocks to save them from financial ruin. He has more than enough money left over to buy back the ashamed Cornelia's pearls.]]

* BrutalHonesty: Godfrey to the rich people at the ScavengerHunt. He explains that he had two reasons to accompany Irene: to help her, and "to see how a bunch of empty-headed nitwits conduct themselves". Having achieved both, he expresses delight at the idea of returning to "a society of really important people" back at the dump.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Mr. Bullock vents his spleen at his family for spending 50% of their income when he has to pay 60% to the government in tax. Irene asks why he should give more to the government than to his own family.

'''Mrs. Bullock:''' Something you eat, silly.
