What is My Man Godfrey / I'll Give a Million about?

MY MAN GODFREY, 1936, Universal, 94 min. Dir. Gregory La Cava. "You people have confused me with the U.S. Treasury!" barks Eugene Pallette to his spoiled, filthy-rich family, including daughter, Carole Lombard, who acquires tramp William Powell during a scavenger hunt and makes him her butler, whereupon he teaches her a few lessons about being human. I'LL GIVE A MILLION, 1938, 20th Century-Fox, 75 min. Dir. Walter Lang. This undeservedly obscure jewel is about a millionaire (Warner Baxter) who rescues a tramp (Peter Lorre!) from drowning, musing that he'd give a cool "mill" to anyone else who would do a good deed. Try and guess what happens next. The supporting cast is practically a who's-who of wonderful character actors - far too many to list here - so just do yourself a good deed and come see it.
