    That was funny. The character of Mrs, Potts was the funniest one!!

    The absolute star of this movie is undoubtedly Pert Kelton, who played a role of Beulah Potts (wife of the Tony's boss). What a charming energetic personality,- and what a comic talent too! When she was drumming on her husband's desk and then told him: "Attention! Eyes right!" - and he reacted like a soldier to the order of a commander - it’s impossible not to burst out laughing!

    Love watching black & white movies... My whole life I avoided them... Watched new releases & old favourites... 80's stuff... After surfing utube and this app "old movies" & finding "good" old black & whites to watch... I'm stuck on them... Love watching movies again.

    By gosh, by golly! This was one of the funniest films I have seen from a smaller studio of those times. Every actor especially Pert Kelton, the Mrs. Paige character, down to the bit parts was superb, and totally supported by a great hammy, but witty script written by Bradford Ropes. I also noticed really good design and tailoring on the costumes. A thousand thanks for uploading this gem!

Love the "hillbilly song," as well,i truly miss the days of seeing "real live talent" such as this,i remember seeing so many different "live" performances that because of the times,are mostly gone now,yet i enjoyed this film immensely,as well as the singing group,they were great!

    The best thumbnail for this movie for getting people to want to take a look at it to see whether they would like it or not - would have been the very introduction pic or drawing at the start of the movie - of the guy standing at the microphone singing while the three girls look on. That's a great picture - and much more interesting and inviting than the pic KZread actually has as the thumbnail - that of the guy standing there with his mouth open. How could KZread not know that?

    "Meet the Boy Friend" was originally released at 66 minutes. However, the only available copies (including this one) are the edited-for-TV 53 minutes. Andre's resolution was probably cut when Republic trimmed the film in the '50s to fit into an hourlong time slot.
