My Man Godfrey. Alexander Bullock.
1. "This is why I have oatmeal."

They don’t have snappy patter like that any more
They don't build characters in movies, like they used to, or at the very least, they omit nuances, and faults that make them funny and human. It's the same with music. How many good character stories are sung, any longer?
Look at the uproar made over "Baby, It's Cold Outside".
And, it's because they can't put the words, into the context of the time it was written.
