Steve Hayes’s Tired Old Queen at the Movies: Ruggles of Red Gap (1935)

From Steve Hayes / Tired Old Queen at the Movies

Charles Laughton, Mary Boland, Charlie Ruggles, Roland Young and Zasu Pitts are in comic heaven in Leo McCarey’s delightful satire RUGGLES OF RED GAP (1935) written by Harry Leon Wilson. Laughton plays a proper British butler who his employer loses in a poker game to Roland Young. Laughton is forced to go the American west at the turn of the century with his unsophisticated new employers Ruggles and Boland. There, he discovers what rustic America is all about and brings sophistication and class to the community in return. It’s by far Laughton’s greatest comedy and Boland, Young, Ruggles and Pitts are perfection!
