I recently watched My Man Godfrey. I loved the writing for the most part, the set-up and William Powell. But I found myself liking Carole Lombard's character less and less as the film progressed. Despite her being Lombard, I was hoping her character was a foil and the real romance was going to develop between Godfrey and the maid, whose character was more interesting. I may have been more fond of Irene Bullock if there was more to her than bliss ignorance and kindness (though I loved that about her at the beginning). I don't know. The film ended and I felt like she got more than she deserved. Namely, William Powell. Heh.
