An Englishman (Roland Young) loses his deferential valet (Charles Laughton, pictured centre) in a poker game, to a rich American couple (Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles), who take him to America. Here, he discovers that all men are created equal.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey



Fish-out-of-water comedy which is beautifully acted, but oozes sentiment and American self-congratulation in a most unbecoming manner.
