MEET THE BOY FRIEND (1937) - ♦♦

Directed by - Ralph Staub

Written by - Bradford Ropes, Jack Raymond, Robert Arthur

Starring - David Carlyle, Carol Hughes, Pert Kelton

 

"When a radio singing star ‘threatens’ to get married, his manager afraid the affair would ruin his reputation as America’s boyfriend, sets up an insurance policy that requires him to fall in love with a woman who is not interested in him or starstruck by him at all. Paige and Hughes are good leads, but the production values of this film are much too cheap. Furthermore, this is one of those musicals with a lazy screenplay and random formulaic musical numbers."
