Description: My Man Godfrey (Criterion Collection) [New Blu-ray] Title: My Man Godfrey (Criterion Collection) Format: Blu-ray Label: Criterion Collection Genre: Comedy Video UPC: 715515220415 Release Date: 2018 CAROLE LOMBARD (To Be or Not to Be) and WILLIAM POWELL (The Thin Man) dazzle in this definitive screwball comedy, directed by GREGORY LA CAVA (Stage Door)—a potent cocktail of romantic repartee and Depression-era social critique. 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.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew high-definition digital restoration, withuncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-rayNew piece about the film with jazz and film criticGary GiddinsNew discussion about director Gregory La Cava withcritic Nick PinkertonOuttakesLux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1938,starring actors William Powell, Carole Lombard, GailPatrick, and Mischa AuerNewsreels from the thirties documenting the classdivide during the Great DepressionTrailerPLUS: An essay by critic Farran Smith NehmeTHE CRITERION COLLECTION PRESENTSMY MAN GODFREY© DirectToU LLC.
