Ruggles of Red Gap - Charles Laughton - Lux Radio Theater
Lively story of an English vallet set down in America's Wild West.
In 1908, Marmaduke Ruggles is a talented and disciplined English manservant, serving as valet and butler to the Earl of Burnstead, a British nobleman and womanizer. During a stay in Paris, the Earl dispassionately informs Ruggles that he has gambled him away in a drunken game of poker; he is to report to his new masters, nouveau riche American millionaires Egbert and Effie Floud. Effie wishes to use Ruggles as a status symbol in an attempt to garner respect from other wealthy families, while Egbert, who has no interest in the trappings of high society is hesitant to accept the help of a "gentleman's gentleman."
Ruggles of Red Gap is a 1935 comedy film directed by Leo McCarey and starring Charles Laughton, Mary Boland, Charlie Ruggles, and ZaSu Pitts and featuring Roland Young and Leila Hyams. It was based on the best-selling 1915 novel by Harry Leon Wilson, adapted by Humphrey Pearson, with a screenplay by Walter DeLeon and Harlan Thompson. It is the story of a newly rich American couple from the West who win a British gentleman's gentleman in a poker game. (Wikipedia)
