Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ruggles of Red Gap is a 1935 comedy film directed by Leo McCarey and starring Charles Laughton. It was adapted from a best-selling 1915 novel of the same name by Harry Leon Wilson.Ruggles (Laughton) is the prim, proper valet to the Earl of Burnstead (Roland Young). One night in Paris the Earl fares badly at cards, and loses Ruggles to an American tourist, Egbert Floud (played, coincidentally enough, by Charlie Ruggles). The very English Ruggles is uncomfortable in the company of the loud, brash Egbert, and doesn't like his snooty, socially ambitious wife Effie (Mary Boland) much better, but because the plot demands it, Ruggles agrees to accompany them back to their hometown of Red Gap, Washington. Ruggles is initially uncomfortable in America, but he makes new friends and finds romance with Mrs. Judson (ZaSu Pitts), a local widow. However, Effie's sister (Leota Lorraine) and her husband Charles Belknap-Jackson (Lucien Littlefield) take a dislike to Ruggles, seeing him as a threat to their social pre-eminence in Red Gap, and then there's the matter of the Earl, who wants Ruggles back as his valet.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Edwardian Era: Set in 1908. Red Gap itself has a Twilight of the Old West flavor. | |

Henpecked Husband: Effie is constantly hassling Egbert, changing his wardrobe, forcing him to trim his mustache, trying to strong-arm him into taking tours of Paris museums, and insisting on taking Ruggles home when Egbert is willing to forget the idea. | |

Embarrassing First Name | |
| Ruggles of Red Gap / int_829b958e | comment |
Embarrassing First Name: It seems like Ruggles is reluctant to give his first name because valets aren't addressed by their first name—until he finally reveals his first name to be "Marmaduke". | |

Fish out of Water | |
| Ruggles of Red Gap / int_af696bef | comment |
Fish out of Water: Much humor is to be had from Ruggles' culture shock, first from hanging out with Egbert, and then after accompanying the Flouds to the one-horse mining town of Red Gap. | |
