My Man Godfrey (1957 film)
My Man Godfrey is a 1957 comedy film starring June Allyson and David Niven. It was adapted by Peter Berneis, William Bowers and Everett Freeman, and directed by Henry Koster. The film is a color remake of Gregory La Cavas 1936 screwball comedy of the same name. Allyson played the role created by Carole Lombard in the original version, and Niven took on the role made famous by William Powell. Niven had played the role of Tommy Gray, Godfreys former classmate, in a 1938 radio version.
The film was meant to mark the Hollywood debut of O.W. Fischer, but he was fired two weeks into production and was sued by Universal.
