I had watched My Man Godfrey years ago, so I was really excited to revisit it for this blogathon! This is the Screwball Comedy that all others are measured against! While the plot isn’t fully fleshed out in places, we don’t care because we’re having such a marvelous ride. Screwball Comedies were better known for …

Synopsis Since I have a couple of novels coming out with Carole Lombard-inspired characters, I thought I would see if she had any spooky movies that would fit with my 4th Annual Spooky Classic Movie Blogathon.
