Show Notes

Charles Laughton gives another acting clinic on facial expressions and underplaying emotions as a comedy device.  His 1935 performance as Marmaduke (LOL) Ruggles, a loyal English butler gambled away to some zany Americans, played by Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles (a coincidence), to go and serve in the "wild west" of 1901's Red Gap is a classy classic comedy that never wastes a scene and is hi. la. ri. ous!
