(Gregory LaCava, US 1936, 95 min.)

The screwiest of screwball comedies features Carole Lombard as a dizzy blonde who hires tramp William Powell as butler to her equally loopy family of socialites. The upside-down situation of a bum imparting lessons in manners, ethics and discipline is the perfect material for the sterling cast, particularly the priceless Eugene Palette as Lombard’s dad.
