Most helpful review My Man Godfrey

  • A golden oldie

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Bromley , 26 Jul 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    An excellent example of the way in which 1930's cinema tackled important social issues of the day in an informative, but still entertaining manner.

    Also because the screenwriters of the time had little to fall back on in terms of sophisticated camera techniques, and they cam from a theatre background, the quality of the dialogue is of a very high standard, rarely heard in more modern films.

    Watch this film, it's an extremely pleasant way to spend 90 minutes.

    Pleasant film with William Powell, but the rest of the cast was a bit tired and dated -

    Not the sort of film that will make you think about the Big Meaning (despite its probable intentions).

    Neither will it change your life or alter the earth's axis...but quite frankly I dont care.

    Hollywood at its worst and finest.....patronising and naiive when being political, but with Lombard & Powell at their screwball best,the mind can get very selective.

    Pretty irresisitble.

    If you like William Powell in the 'Thin Man' - you'll love this.
