Critic Reviews
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 unsophisticated 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.
