My Man Godfrey (1936) + His Girl Friday (1940)

Aero Theater, Santa Monica, Calif.
Throughout the 1930s and '40s, William Powell was famous as detective Nick Charles in the light-hearted "Thin Man" series of films; here he plays a "forgotten man," a victim of the Depression, in a classic screwball comedy that was nominated for six Academy Awards (and won none). Part of the Aero Theatre's Screwball Comedy Holidays.
