My Man Godfrey (1936)

Trying times for men are the times of opportunity for the nation. If adversities do not destroy the nation, they invite the stubborn, the ambitious, the clever, and the lucky to replace the spent elite, as the stubborn, the ambitious, the clever, and the lucky struggle for their survival.

In order to hedge the downside risk of this Capraesque but Capraless cinematic enterprise, the film ends with an unlikely marriage between two protagonists.
