Ruggles of Red Gap
-- Droll tale of a British butler (Charles Laughton) transplanted to the Wild West after an American cattle baron (Charlie Ruggles) wins his services in a poker game with an English lord (Roland Young). Director Leo McCarey pokes fun at the social pretensions of the newly rich cattleman's wife (Mary Boland) while centering the comedy on Laughton's gradual transformation from straitlaced servant to red-blooded frontier patriot. The comic situation and performances hold up better than the sentimental theme. (A-I) (br)
