SUMMARY:RAAC Movie - Ruggles of Red Gap
DESCRIPTION:Ruggles of Red Gap\, a cinematic treasure from Hollywood’s past\, was a Best Picture Nominee in 1936 and stars movie legends like Charles Laughton\, Mary Boland and Zasu Pitts. \nAt the time Leo McCarey’s film was born\, the world was reeling from a global depression\, and authoritarian threats were multiplying. But the art form America helped define and popularize— the movies— offered a much-needed slice of magic. Glamour mixed easily with humor; actors and audiences delighted in good-natured satirizing of class and culture. \nThe plot of Ruggles the film centers on the plight of Ruggles the character\, who is the dedicated valet of a wayward English lord who gambles his servant away to a rough-hewn American in a poker game. The fastidious butler faces hilarious adaptations to the dot-on-the-map town of Red Gap in the uncultured American West. But there is a serious\, even redeeming\, element: dutiful Ruggles is becoming his own man in his transplanted life\, sparking a genuine wave of patriotism when he recites\, from memory\, Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. \nFinally\, this rollicking and timely movie provides an opportunity to re-encounter Zasu Pitts\, and to be reminded of her memorable name. \nAdmission is free\, but RAAC\, which sponsors Rappahannock’s movie program\, appreciates donations to cover production costs.
