Wiki.

Ruggles of Red Gap is a 1935 American comedy film directed by Leo McCarey and starring: Charles Laughton, Mary Boland, Charlie Ruggles and ZaSu Pitts and featuring Roland Young and Leila Hyams. It was based on the best-selling 1915 novel by Harry Leon Wilson, adapted by Humphrey Pearson, with a screenplay by Walter DeLeon and Harlan Thompson.

The story concerns a British gentleman's gentleman who discovers a "new birth of freedom" in a small Western American town in the early 20th century.

Ruggles of Red Gap was "an immense commercial hit" and confirmed Leo McCarey's stature as Paramount's outstanding comedy filmmaker of his day.
