Ruggles of Red Gap (1935)

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... 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.
