Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock needs a "forgotten man" to win a scavenger hunt, and no one is more forgotten than Godfrey Park, who resides in a dump by the East River. Irene hires Godfrey as a servant for her riotously unhinged family, to the chagrin of her spoiled sister, Cornelia, who tries her best to get Godfrey fired. As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.

"This movie is really good I think they could have done better with the ending though and it would have been awesome if they would have made a movie about Godfrey and Irene's life after marriage "

"Good movie. Light hearted comedy, with caricatural characters, very well played. Quite the norm for the period, but better than the usual. Interesting high luxury fashion, decors, and cars of the times, a mix of heavy gold, and lighter art-deco. Get in the spirit of things, have some canapés and cocktails while you watch it, makes for good fun."
