Good Time Charley

Directed by Michael Curtiz

Haunting Heart Story of an Old-Time Actor -- His Dancing Daughter -- His Enemy -- His Pal -- and a World of Other Folks!

Song-and-dance man Charles Edward Keene (Good Time Charley) is bereft when his wife, Elaine, dies as a result of a fall incurred trying to evade the advances of Hartwell, her manager. Years later, his daughter, Rosita, becomes an overnight sensation as a result of her cafe act under Hartwell's management, and Charley is given a bit part in the show at her request.
