Irene (Lombard), an eccentric Manhattan socialite, wins a society-ball scavenger hunt after finding one of the “items” on the list, a “lost man” (Powell), at a dump. She gives the man she believes to be a down-and-out drifter work as the family butler, and soon falls head over heels in love. Her attempts to both woo Godfrey and indoctrinate him in the dysfunctional ways of the household make for an unbeatable series of madcap hijinks. La Cava’s deft film was the first to garner Oscar nominations in all four acting categories, and it is one of Hollywood’s greatest commentaries on class and the social unrest of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew high-definition digital restoration, with\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003euncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew piece about the film with jazz and film critic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGary Giddins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew discussion about director Gregory La Cava with\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecritic Nick Pinkerton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuttakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1938,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estarring actors William Powell, Carole Lombard, Gail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatrick, and Mischa Auer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewsreels from the thirties documenting the class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edivide during the Great Depression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: An essay by critic Farran Smith Nehme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTHE CRITERION COLLECTION PRESENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMY MAN GODFREY\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarring: Carole Lombard, William Powell\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49062303105298,"sku":"715515220415","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3531667.jpg?v=1715196575","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/my-man-godfrey-criterion-collection-blu-ray","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
