My Man Godfrey (1936)
Step into the golden age of Hollywood with a screening of the timeless screwball comedy My Man Godfrey (1936)! This classic gem stars the incomparable William Powell as the suave 'forgotten man' turned butler and Carole Lombard as the bubbly heiress who hires him during a wild scavenger hunt amid the Great Depression.
Expect hilarious family chaos, witty banter, and a whirlwind romance that had audiences roaring in the 1930s—it's no wonder it snagged six Academy Award nominations and tops lists of funniest films ever. Lombard and Powell's real-life chemistry (they were briefly married!) adds extra sparkle to their on-screen magic.
Grab your popcorn for an evening of laugh-out-loud antics, gorgeous cinematography, and a feel-good finale complete with nightclubs and New York flair!
