		Ruggles, beautifully underplayed by Charles Laughton, is the ultra-obedient manservant to the bibulous Earl of Burnstead (Roland Young).
		Of the film's many highlights, two are standouts: the scene in which Ruggles silences a rowdy saloon crowd with his recitation of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and the droll, semi-improvised vignette in which dancehall girl Nell Kenner (Leila Hyams) teaches the Earl of Burnstead how to play the drums.
		Ruggles of Red Gap was filmed for a fourth time in 1950 as the Bob Hope-Lucille Ball musical Fancy Pants.

		Horton appeared in the 1932 film Ruggles of Red Gap, starring as the title character that shares the name of his Trouble costar.
		Ruggles ALSO appeared in Ruggles of Red Gap, but it was the 1935 remake in which he played redneck millionaire Egbert Floud and not his namesake.
		Further still, Ruggles (the actor, not the character that was not played by the actor) can be fondly recalled for providing the voice of Aesop in segments for The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

		Ruggles (Charles Laughton) is the stuffy butler of an English Duke, Burnstead (Roland Young).
		The bemused little smile on his face, with his eyes elevated in a caricature of his usual deference, as he tiptoed carefully around like he was afraid the bricks in the sidewalk were moving...
		Ruggles is at a bar, and he mentions that he was inspired by "what Lincoln said at Gettysburg." Someone asks what Lincoln said, and nobody in the bar can remember.

		As Ruggles, Charles Laughton is more restrained than he's ever been, and gives a fine comedic performance of rare delicacy.
		As his new "bosses", Egbert and Effie Floud, Charlie Ruggles and Mary Boland are wonderful as middle-aged denizens of the Pacific northwest.
		As Ruggles' girl, Prunella, Zasu Pitts is at her dithering best; while Roland Young is sly and stylish as the earl.

	Leo McCarey
		Ruggles of Red Gap (1935) is McCarey's watershed – simultaneously a culmination of over a decade's worth of comic training, but also a confident expression of a new, more personal direction producing films with deeper emotional resonance and greater sensitivity to human behavior.
		One reason it coheres, and one thing that marks Ruggles as McCarey's first mature feature, is that here he begins to deal spiritual themes, something that runs through virtually all of the remainder of his work for the next twenty-two years.
		It is a moment of informal, but real, communion – a ceremony celebrating Ruggles' “baptism,” not just as an American, (13) but more importantly, as a human being with fully developed hopes and desires of his own.

		The brother of director Wesley Ruggles, Charles Ruggles made his earliest film appearances in the silent film era in films such as The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914), The Majesty of the Law (1915), and Hushing the Scandal (1915).
		Once the sound era came in, Ruggles’ delightfully mannered voice, which contained a mixture of quaver and fluster, won him numerous character parts.
		Among his film roles were “Egbert ‘Sourdough’ Floud” in Ruggles of Red Gap, and “Major Horace Applegate” in Bringing Up Baby.

		Comment: Charles Laughton is sublime as Marmaduke Ruggles, long time British manservant to the Earl of Burnstead in the delightful comedy "Ruggles Of Red Gap.
		In its own way it is the most patriotic of movies -- much more than Sands of Iwo Jima, etc. Ruggles undergoes a slow transformation from servant-class Brit, fearful of his new life "in a land of slavery" to an American enteprenuer, running the "Anglo-American Grill" in the boomtown he is taken to.
		The way Ruggles recites the Gettysberg Address at the end of the movie is unforgetable, and when all the patrons of his diner begin to sing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and tears fill up in his eyes, well...it just doesn't get any better than this!

		Even love interest ZaSu Pitts has a bumper crop of one-liners and turns of phrase (although her chemistry with the asexual Laughton is dubious at best).
		The movie gains momentum as the script fortifies Ruggles' backbone for the climactic, crowd-pleasing comeuppance of the picture's true snobs, shoehorns in a couple of high-spirited songs for good measure, and even manages to jerk some genuine tears along the way.

		Cast: Charles Laughton, Mary Boland, Charles Ruggles, ZaSu Pitts
		Laughton plays the butler hired by Boland, the social climbing wife of a rough-hewn Yankee magnate (Ruggles), who wants to give her husband a bit of class.
		Laughton comes into contact with American simplicity, some professional and emotional rivalry (when he romances Pitts) and grows to love the place he's in - even to the point of reciting the Gettysburg Address back to his employers and assorted onlookers.

	Ruggles of Red Gap Review At DVDwolf.com
		Synopsis: After buttoned-up English manservant Marmaduke Ruggles (Charles Laughton) is lost by his aristocratic employer in a poker game to an uncouth American cattle baron, Ruggles’s life is turned upside down as he’s taken to Washington State to help his new master better his manners and raise his social standing.
		But the frontier can change a man dramatically, and Ruggles finds himself in adventures he never imagined--and never dreamed he’d enjoy so well.
		The supporting cast of Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles as the new American employers and ZaSu Pitts playing an attractive widow is generous with the laughs, while director Leo McCarey’s brilliant comic touch and Charles Laughton’s turn as an Englishman stranded in a sea of barbaric Americans create a sidesplitting masterpiece.
