This is a less enthusiastic
My Man Godfrey. It's directed by the same guy so it makes sense - Gregory La Cava. Part of the fault lies in Ginger Roger's monotone performance but then the movie is dull. I don't like to put Ginger Rogers down since she's usually a very excellent charming actress. This is one of those movies that focus on the rich/poor social status and favors the poor. A wealthy man brings home the poor girl Ginger to his household. Then you also see that his daughter loves the chauffeur. I'm not against the pro poor plot. There are several movies that do it well. This wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't exciting either.
