Charley's Aunt Overview:
Charley's Aunt (1930) was a Comedy - Film Adaptation Film directed by Al Christie and produced by Al Christie.
SYNOPSIS
The first talkie version of Brandon Thomas's farce (which must have been a real knee-slapper in the 23 skidoo days, as it was given multiple screen airings). Two schoolboys convince an older chum to masquerade as their aged female relation and chaperone so they can court their sweeties undisturbed. Resurfaced as the 1952 musical Where's Charley?
