One of the best of the screwball comedies of the 1930s. Powell is found by Lombard and Patrick in a vacant lot on the lower east side, and is presumed by them to be one of the depression era's forgotten men. He returns with Lombard to a society party and is presented as such. Lombard then hires him as her family's butler and he proceeds to teach them all a lesson or two in himility with great style and high humor.
