===Directing===
Crichton made his directorial debut with ''[[For Those in Peril (1944 film)|For Those in Peril]]'' (1944).<ref name=guardian/><ref name=guardian2/><ref name=bbc/> In 1945, he directed ''[[Painted Boats]]'' and co-directed a segment in ''[[Dead of Night]]''.<ref name=independent/> Crichton then directed ''[[Hue and Cry (film)|Hue and Cry]]'' (1947), a film considered to be the first comedy released by Ealing Studios.<ref name=guardian/><ref name=bbc/> Crichton later directed ''[[Against the Wind (film)|Against the Wind]]'' (1948) and ''[[Dance Hall (1950 film)|Dance Hall]]'' (1950).<ref name=independent/> Crichton then directed [[Alec Guinness]] in ''[[The Lavender Hill Mob]]'' (1951).<ref name=guardian/><ref name=guardian2/><ref name=independent/><ref name=bbc/> This was followed by ''[[Hunted (1952 film)|Hunted]]'' (1952), starring [[Dirk Bogarde]].<ref name=guardian/><ref name=independent/> Afterwards, Crichton directed ''[[The Titfield Thunderbolt]]'' (1953).<ref name=guardian/><ref name=guardian2/><ref name=independent/><ref name=bbc/> Later films he directed during the 1950s included ''[[The Divided Heart]]'' (1954), ''[[Law and Disorder (1958 film)|Law and Disorder]]'' (1958), and ''[[Floods of Fear]]'' (1959).<ref name=independent/> He also directed [[Peter Sellers]] in ''[[The Battle of the Sexes (1959 film)|The Battle of the Sexes]]'' (1959).<ref name=bbc/><ref name=losangelestimes/>

Crichton was then replaced by [[John Frankenheimer]].<ref name=guardian/> Crichton said of the experience: "Had I known that Burt Lancaster was to be ''de facto'' producer, I do not think I would have accepted the assignment, as he had a reputation for quarreling with better directors than I. But [[Harold Hecht]], the credited producer, had assured me that there would be no interference from Lancaster. This did not prove to be the case."<ref>{{cite web|title=Overview for Charles Crichton|publisher=[[Turner Classic Movies]]|url=http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/41105%7C29203/Charles-Crichton/|access-date=16 December 2015}}</ref> Crichton was also planning another film project with [[Sammy Davis, Jr.]], but it never came to fruition due to the death of a producer involved with it.<ref name=newyorktimes/>

''[[The Third Secret (film)|The Third Secret]]'' (1964) and ''[[He Who Rides a Tiger]]'' (1965), the last two films Crichton directed during the 1960s, were not successful.<ref name=newyorktimes/> The latter film was the last film he directed for 23 years.<ref name=guardian2/><ref>{{cite news|title=Charles Crichton|date=16 September 1999|newspaper=[[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]]|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1683&dat=19990916&id=c-UcAAAAIBAJ&pg=3054,107257&hl=en|access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Gazlay|first=Kristin|title=Director Charles Crichton dies at 89|date=16 September 1999|newspaper=[[The Daily Gazette]]|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1957&dat=19990916&id=AE1GAAAAIBAJ&pg=3488,3645426&hl=en|access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Comedy film director Charles Crichton, 89|date=16 September 1999|newspaper=[[Bangor Daily News]]|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2457&dat=19990916&id=hKNJAAAAIBAJ&pg=4626,143254&hl=en|access-date=13 December 2015}}</ref>

Crichton moved to directing television shows, then corporate videos. The latter were through [[John Cleese]]'s company Video Arts. This led Cleese to propose Crichton returning to the crime comedy film genre.<ref name="screenonline.org.uk">{{Cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/449392/|title=BFI Screenonline: Crichton, Charles (1910-1999) Biography}}</ref> Beginning in 1983, Cleese and Crichton worked together on the story for ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]''. Cleese wrote the screenplay. When the film went into production in 1987, Cleese had to act as stand-by director for insurance reasons since Crichton was 77 years old.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g1Va-fZwdsUC&q=charles+crichton&pg=PA100|last=Mayer|first=Geoff|title=Historical Dictionary of Crime Films|year=2012|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=9780810879003}}</ref> Cleese said of working with Crichton as a stand-by director: "That was a subterfuge. I knew the studio would be worried about Charlie's age. I don't know anything about how to direct, but that doesn't stop one-half of the directors. I simply prayed that Charlie would be on the set every morning. He shoots in such a way to convey the essence of every scene. He's economical. He's a dear man who's terrified of showing off. If he says anything shrewd or insightful, he'll apologize for a minute so he won't be considered pompous."<ref>{{cite news|last=Harmetz|first=Aljean|title='Fish Called Wanda' a Crichton Keeper|date=26 March 1989|newspaper=[[The Milwaukee Journal]]|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19890326&id=RWsaAAAAIBAJ&pg=4378,1028019&hl=en|access-date=16 December 2015}}</ref>
