My Man Godfrey (1936)

92 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTOR: GREGORY LA CAVA
CAST: WILLIAM POWELL, CAROLE LOMBARD, MISCHA AUER, ALAN MOWBRAY 

A thirties Depression-era "screwball” comedy. A wealthy socialite goes to the city dump and hires a bum as a butler for a grand society party. The butler is not what he seems. A guest recognises him from his past life, and he needs nifty footwork to escape exposure.

Ruggles Of Red Gap (1935)

 90 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTOR: LEO McCAREY
CAST: CHARLES LAUGHTON, MARY BOLAND, CHARLES RUGGLES, ZASU PITTS 

Ruggles, an English butler, is wagered and lost in a poker game, and finds himself with a new master in the backwoods American town, Red Gap. His new masters have different ideas from each other as to what they want from an English butler—and Ruggles’s own ideas are different again.
