Goodbye Charlie
by George Axelrod
What readers are saying
Readers find the play to be a light-hearted comedy with an interesting premise, though opinions are mixed about its execution. Many describe it as a modest effort that offers some laughs, but ultimately feels underwhelming and could benefit from a stronger conclusion.
Synopsis
Lauren Bacall on Broadway and Debbie Reynolds onscreen assayed the title role in this knockabout farce by the author of The Seven Year Itch .
Charlie was a cad, a womanizer, with a foul mouth and taste for booze.
Killed hightailing it from a lover's husband's yacht, Charlie "returns" as a woman (cigar in hand) and gets a second chance at life and love.
