Charles Laughton is superb as a butler who is lost in a poker game by his English aristocrat employer and so has to relocate to "Red Gap" to work for a couple nouveau riche Americans at the start of the 1900s. Initially a fish out of water in his new home with his brash, socially aspiring, but unsop ... histicated new American employers he quickly turns this all to his advantage and what ensues is a delightful, subtle piece of comedy. I'm still searching for a bad Laughton film, this certainly isn't it - well worth 90 minutes of your time.
