"My Man Godfrey" is the champion of screwball comedies from the 1930s. Every actor is superb for the part played. This is true escapist entertainment for the time period. The minor uncredited players are equally as good as those named in the credits.
I first saw this film as an eight year old during the war. I regularly showed the video version to my high school history classes during my teaching career. Even though it was on the edge of being brutally hard to take when the Sullivan family learned of the death of all five of their sons, my students regarded the film as one which showed a great deal about the home front and about the sacrifices this generation made to the country.
