Charley’s Aunt (1956): Cast & Plot

Commercial Attaché Dr. Otto Dernburg travels from South America to Germany for important business negotiations, and his eye falls on the attractive Carlotta Ramirez. He begins by visiting his younger Ralf Dernburg, who shares an attic apartment with his lively friend Charley Sallmann. The pair are expecting the charming Swedes, Ulla Bergström and Britta Nielsen, but they dread their strict uncle Niels Bergström. Anxious about keeping the evening from going wrong, Charley’s unknown aunt, who had planned to join them, cancels at the last moment, leaving the two men feeling the weight of the situation. Britta and Ulla are not keen on spending the night with the two men alone, and so the pressure to improvise grows.
