CGiii Comment

Half of the film is farcical...the other half is Charlie in drag...and, is farcical.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Charlie is an actor in a film studio. He messes up several scenes and is tossed out. Returning dressed as a lady, he charms the director. Even so, Charlie never makes it into film, winding up at the bottom of a well.
