Ruggles of Red Gap
SH-H-H-H! TONIGHT'S YOUR NIGHT TO HOWL! And howl you will at this funniest of all comedies...
A lighthearted fish-out-of-water comedy celebrating the clash between English propriety and American frontier culture, built on warmth, humor, and romantic discovery.
In this comedy of an Englishman stranded in a sea of barbaric Americans, Marmaduke Ruggles - a gentleman's gentleman and butler to an Earl - is lost in a poker game to an uncouth American cattle baron. Ruggles' life is turned upside down as he's taken to the USA, is gradually assimilated into American life, accidentally becomes a local celebrity, and falls in love along the way.
