Can you butle?

My Man Godfrey

(1936)
Had the pleasure tonight of showing this to someone who had never seen it before, and while under those circumstances, one might wish that Carole Lombard were just a tad less hysterical and that the few moments of didacticism from William Powell a tad more subtle, but there's not much else I'd have different. It may not be a perfect film, but it's a perfectly wonderful one.
