See the films the platforms disagree about most →An impeccably trained English valet is won in a poker game by a uncouth, newly wealthy American couple from the wild West. He is transported from a life of dignified service to the chaotic frontier town of Red Gap. Forced to adapt to his new employers' brash and informal ways, the valet’s rigid notions of class and propriety are profoundly challenged by the democratic spirit of the American West.
