Bill Powell MAKES this movie worthy!!!
What a consummate actor! His three Academy Award Nominations prove what a talanted and diverse actor he is, especially because of the difference in the roles for each: A suave, debonare sleuth with one-foot-in-the-bed (with Nora) in The Thin Man (1934), A down on your luck homeless hobo turned butler in the screwball comedy My Man Godfrey (1936), and the demanding, loud, stubborn, dominating patriarch with a heart in Life With Father(1947). Too bad he never won:( From his first film role in John Barrymores version of Sherlock Holmes (1922) to his final role as "Doc" in the classic Mister Roberts (1955), you could always count on a superb performance out of every character Bill ever played. I own about 55 of his 95 movies and they are awesome to watch!!!!
