One of the truly great screwball comedies of the Thirties, this pointed take-off on Depression realities has Wiliam Powell as one of the "nouveaux poor" ruined by the crash and adapting himself to life in the city dump. A group of addle-brained socialites turn him up in a scavenger hunt and hire him as a butler. He proceeds to enlighten his employers with his hard-earned experience, and ends up converting them to social responsibility. Gergory La Cava's direction is as smooth as silk; William Powell gives a superb comic performance etched in acid; and Carole Lombard gives her definitive version of the daffy, empty-headed blonde.
