Fast-talking dialogue, mistaken identities, and battling romantic leads defined one of Hollywood’s most beloved comedic genres during its golden age. In My Man Godfrey (1936): A wealthy family’s scavenger-hunt discovery becomes their butler, exposing their absurd, spoiled lifestyle. Also notable is Bringing Up Baby (1938): A scatterbrained heiress and her pet leopard turn a mild-mannered paleontologist’s life upside down.
