William Powell ditches his usual urbane trappings to play an unhoused man who meets a family of ritzy ditzes and lands a job as their new butler. Will he and most adorable ditz Carole Lombard fall for each other despite the apparent class chasm? Have you ever seen a screwball comedy before? The plot stretches credulity like taffy, but Powell and Lombard distract admirably. -Lee Gardner
