292 THE TALKING PICTURE Spencer Tracy, under Fritz Lang's direction, gave a fine performance in Fun/, an uncompromising study of mob madness that had many a thrilling moment. This is one of them, where the mob tries to break into the jail in order to lynch one of the inmates. Failing to get its intended victim, the mob burns down the jail. One of the best comedies in recent years was My Man Godfrey, which Gregory LaCava produced and directed for Universal in 1936. William Powell gave a polished performance, while Carole Lombard turned out to be one of the best zanies on the screen. In this scene we have Eugene Pallette, Miss Lombard, Alice Bradv, and Mischa Auer.
