Overview
In this comedy of an Englishman stranded in a sea of barbaric Americans, Marmaduke Ruggles – a gentleman's gentleman and butler to an Earl – is lost in a poker game to an uncouth American cattle baron. Ruggles' life is turned upside down as he's taken to the USA, is gradually assimilated into American life, accidentally becomes a local celebrity, and falls in love along the way.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fish-out-of-water comedy that mines genuine warmth from watching a stuffy English butler gradually shed his pretense and find himself in the rough-and-tumble American frontier. It's funny without being cruel, celebrating transformation and unexpected connection.
