My Man Godfrey begins with sharply modernist buildings and neon lights, passing into the reality of a city dump. It ends with a fusion of both worlds: a city dump converted into a dream of modernist buildings and neon lights. It was indeed a dream for ...read the complete My Man Godfrey movie review at Daily-Reviews.com (Mike Pinsky)

Time Out
Heartless screwball classic, directed with clinical glee by the still undervalued La Cava and scripted by the mysterious Morrie Ryskind, who began with the Marx Brothers and later drifted into weepies and right wing politics. ...read the complete My Man Godfrey movie review at Time Out
