PUNQ

Rated 03 Jan 2014

Charley's Aunt has been a popular cross-dressing farce for over 100 years with countless versions been made. This is the first talkie starring Charles Ruggles as the aunt. And it doesn't really work, does it? The story is silly enough in itself and for this sound version the comedy is mostly cringe worthy. I prefer Charley's Aunt (1925) with Charley's brother instead.
