In the depths of the Depression, a party game brings dizzy socialite Irene Bullock to the city dump where she meets Godfrey, a derelict, and ends by hiring him as the family butler. He finds the Bullocks to be the epitome of the idle rich, and nutty as fruitcakes. Soon, wacky Irene is in love with her ‘protégé’ … who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant’s mysterious past… as Godfrey is more than he seems! Starring William Powell, Carole Lombard, and Alice Brady. A great, zany, and inspiring movie of the 1930s! Look out Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell in OVERBOARD!
