I suppose like most people, I knew this story best from the 1936 screwball comedy starring William Powell & Carole Lombard. I havent seem the movie in a long time, but I remember enough to know that the movie strayed far from the book in some respects, but stayed remarkably faithful in others. Reading this was very enjoyable; reading it from a 1947 bantam edition paperback seemed to enhance the experience.

The book was even better than the movie - entertaining, funny and just plain fun! The way Godfrey just organizes and takes over the whole family is totally remarkable!!! Mr. Hatch did a beautiful job of this book!
