My Man Godfrey
She wanted her breakfast in bed - but not alone.
Directed by Henry Koster
Produced by Universal International Pictures
A buoyant screwball comedy about class, romance, and mistaken identities, built on witty banter and the warmth of found family.
The eccentric Bullock household again need a new butler. Daughter Irene encounters bedraggled Godfrey Godfrey at the docks and, fancying him and noticing his obviously good manners, gets him the job. He proves a great success, but keeps his past to himself. When an old flame turns up Irene's sister Cordelia starts making waves.
