RUGGLES OF RED GAP

(1935, Leo McCarey) Worst case scenario for Laughton’s snobbish gentleman’s gentleman: his master Roland Young casually informs him that he’s been lost in a poker game — and to an uncouth millionaire from one-horse Red Gap, Washington, U.S.A.! Laughton’s favorite among all his parts, with his rendition of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address a highlight. “Irresistible... the cast could hardly be better.” - Pauline Kael. Approx. 90 min. 35mm.

IF I HAD A MILLION
