Short description
Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock needs a "forgotten man" to win a scavenger hunt, and no one is more forgotten than Godfrey Park, who resides in a dump by the East River. Irene hires Godfrey as a servant for her riotously unhinged family, to the chagrin of her spoiled sister, Cornelia, who tries her best to get Godfrey fired. As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.
What's left behind the scenes
- Carol Lombard (1908-1942) occasionally inserted profanities into her own lines, so scenes with her participation had to be reshot repeatedly.
- William Powell (1892-1984) suggested his former wife, Carol Lombard, for the role of the main character, stating that their relationship at the time strongly resembled the relationship between the main characters.
- Once, William Powell and film director Gregory La Cava (1892-1952) couldn't figure out the film's main character, Godfrey, so they decided they couldn't sort it out without a drink. They 'persuaded' a bottle of whiskey right in Powell's dressing room. The next morning, La Cava, with a terrible headache, arrived on set and found Powell missing. Soon, a telegram from Powell arrived on set: "We found Godfrey, but we lost Powell. See you tomorrow."
