Directed by renowned Hollywood humanist Leo McCarey, Ruggles of Red Gap is one of the great comedies about the American ideal. Charles Laughton leads a delightful ensemble cast as Marmaduke Ruggles, an English valet who, while accompanying his employer on a trip to Paris, finds himself gambled away to a new-money American couple. The bewildered butler’s tradition-bound world is upended when the couple bring him back to their frontier outpost in Washington State, but there he eventually discovers a newfound sense of self-determination in a land “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Balancing relaxed physical humor with a heart-swelling affection for everyday people, McCarey fashions a comedy of rare effortlessness and poignancy.
