My Man Godfrey Movie Review 1957

Inferior remake of the sophisticated screwball comedy of the '30s about a butler who brings a touch of the common man to the filthy rich. Niven stars as the butler and Allyson plays the rich girl, but nothing compares to the original roles created by Powell and Lombard.
