Ruggles of Red Gap (1935)
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’s life is turned upside down as he’s taken to the USA, is gradually assimilated into American life, accidently becomes a local celebrity, and falls in love along the way.
