Classic Film Friday: My Man Godfrey

Ok, so here is a movie, that somewhat hits close to home. Spoiled, rich, and needy Irene and Cordelia Bullock are racing the streets fighting over a goat because of a scavenger hunt. Enter Godfrey, who just jumped ship and is an illegal alien (that's the close to home part). Irene takes him in, not knowing his status or really anything about him.

He becomes the Bullock's family butler and from the sound of it he won't last long. But he does and does well. To get the rest of the story you'll have to watch, but it does take a deeper look at just one man's trouble with coming to America.

This movie is a remake if an earlier film that is pretty much the same... why I did the redo instead of the original I have no clue, but it was a pretty good film, it even had Eva Gabor. Watch this or the original, you'll like either.
