About the film:
In the depths of the Depression, a party game brings dizzy socialite Irene Bullock to the city dump where she meets Godfrey, a derelict, and ends by hiring him as family butler. He finds the Bullocks to be the epitome of idle rich, and nutty as the proverbial fruitcake. Soon, the dramatizing Irene is in love with her ‘protege’…who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant’s mysterious past... (IMBD)

About the Professional Building:
The Professional Building was completed in 1932 by the architectural firm of Morgan, Walls, & Clements, originally constructed as the “National Valley Bank” building. The bank resided on the ground floor, and other floors of the high-rise were reserved for medical offices. It’s impossible not to notice the original brass elevators and marble floors that invite you to the large open-air lobby. This interior was vacant for two decades until it was renovated and restored to its former glory, featuring stunning Art Deco pillars and zig-zag motifs replicated in the original color scheme.
Since 2013, Hilton Garden Inn takes over the entire building with a modest bar, Monroe’s, on the ground floor with lounge and cocktail seating. Monroe’s offers a full-service bar menu and a place for guests to relax and unwind. In addition to some tasty beverages, we also serve a selection of upscale bar-food ranging from burgers and wings to tacos and salad.
