My Man Godfrey
TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET
Here’s the second movie selected by Jules Feiffer to show tonight – a 1936 screwball comedy classic staring William Powell and Carole Lombard. He plays in the parlance of the time, a bum, hired by a socialite to serve as her butler and mix with high society, which he wastes no time in ridiculing, often to their faces. It’s a financial class warfare movie that was way, way ahead of its time. Think of the diners at the table as the “1 percenters,” and this movie seems 100 percent topical.
