Announcement! Movie #2 for Conejo Classic Cinema is… *drum roll*
March 14, 2009
Hi everyone
Some of you may have recognized the new graphic on our banner. This is from My Man Godfrey and yes…it is the next movie for Conejo Classic Cinema!
If you have never seen this movie, you are surely in for a treat.
This comedy was nominated for 6 Academy Awards and stars the witty Carole Lombard and straight man William Powell in a screwball love story with some truly memorable performances. In 1999, My Man Godfrey was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Here is a snippet about the storyline, and look below for a video sneak peak.
As always tickets are only $5 you lucky, lucky people!
In the depths of the Depression, a party game brings dizzy socialite Irene Bullock to the city dump where she meets Godfrey, a derelict, and ends by hiring him as family butler. He finds the Bullocks to be the epitome of idle rich, and nutty as the proverbial fruitcake. Soon, the dramatizing Irene is in love with her ‘protege’…who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant’s mysterious past…
