IMDB
Two sisters on a scavenger hunt run into a homeless person, which is one of the items on the list. Irene Bullock talks Godfrey, a homeless man, into becoming a butler for her family and getting back on his feet. He accepts and soon finds himself taking care of an incredibly crazy family. Irene takes Godfrey in as her protege, but soon finds herself in love with the much older man.
This movie is a classic. The characters can be obnoxious and unlikable at times, but they redeem themselves in the end (of course, it's Hollywood in the 30s!). Any fan of film should probably watch this, especially lovers of classic 30s cinema.
9.5/10
