	U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > Paintings > Battle of Lake Erie
		William Henry Powell, an Ohio artist who had studied with Henry Inman in New York City, received a coveted commission in 1847: the last of the historical paintings for the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
		The picture was installed in Columbus in 1865, whereupon the Joint Committee on the Library commissioned Powell, on March 2, 1865, for a painting “illustrative of some naval victory,” to be placed at the head of the east stairway in the Senate wing of the Capitol.
		Powell’s most expressive work is found in the indistinct background, seen through gunsmoke and haze; in the water; and in the corpse atop the tangled flotsam.

		As Godfrey, William Powell was at the peak of his powers.
		Powell wore several days' growth of beard effectively as a hobo, but his urbanity in the role of butler was more impressive.
		Interestingly, Niven would play the William Powell lead role in a 1957 film remake which is entertaining in its own right but not in the same league as the original My Man Godfrey.) An extensive archive of production stills and the original theatrical trailer round out the disc.

		Nick is a former detective who has been in retirement for the last four years, living the high life with Nora when Dorothy Wynant (Maureen O'Sullivan) implores with them to help find her father, who has been missing for three months.
		Powell is definitely the physical comedian of the pair, with Loy looking stunning and conveying so much with the looks she gives him.
		I honestly found myself guessing the outcome until the end, which culminates in a deliciously wonderful dinner party where all of the guests are suspects.
