My Man Godfrey (1936)

The Classic Screwball Comedy

Funniest screwball comedy ever made, in a beautiful transfer. If you've ever seen this on tv or on other (cheaper) dvds, you won't believe how much better the Criterion restored version is. Crisp & beautiful. It's a version the movie deserves. You'll see things in this transfer that were too dark to see before & it makes the art deco look of the posh places sparkle. Movie restoration at its best - for the best screwball comedy ever made. July 24, 2008

sometimes classics can't be matched

My Man Godfrey {1936} is a classic in every sense of the word. It is a wonderful picture of Have's and Have's Not during a period that was hard on even some of the Have's. It is a study of human nature and filled with characters so different from each other to give a fantastic picture of humanity. William Powell gives a performance that shows why he was a major box office draw. It is a movie not to be missed. If only to make you think about where you fit in the scheme of society.

Nice Movie, Bad Presentation

Don't buy this one! Nice example of the 30's screwball comedy genre. But this particular DVD version (My Man Godfrey) is badly flawed by the insertion throughout the whole movie of a "bug" in the lower right of the picture. The bug is "RE" which evidently stands for "Reel Enterprises," the copyright owner for this version. Why would they deface such a good movie by inserting such a distraction? Surely not for the publicity; I'll never buy another product from Reel Enterprises. June 26, 2008

A Classic!

A must have for any classic movie collection. A great screwball comedy with a terrific storyline. How can you go wrong with such a great price and a good clean copy! April 7, 2008

1st time not completly pleased

The movie was great but this is the first time the dvd was not perfect it skips near the end which is some of the best part, so even though I have always been pleased with the dvd I have gotten from here I will not want one fom this particular company again April 7, 2008
