Where's Charley? is a 1952 Warner Bros. musical comedy film directed by David Butler and starring Ray Bolger, Allyn Ann McLerie and Robert Shackleton.[1] It was an adaptation of the musical Where's Charley? which was in turn based on the play Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas. Bolger, McLerie and Horace Cooper reprised the performances they originated on Broadway. Some scenes were filmed in Oxford, England, the setting for the comedy.
It earned an estimated $1.5 million at the North American box office in 1952.[2] The movie has never been released on VHS or DVD, though bootleg copies circulate.
