About This Movie

Boys Will Be Boys is a curious little comedy from 1935, directed by William Beaudine. It follows Alec Smart, a teacher with a rather unique background, as he lands a job at a public school after the prior headmaster's scandal. The film's atmosphere is light yet satirical, poking fun at the education system and the absurdities within it. The pacing has a nice flow – not too rushed, allowing the comedic moments to breathe. Performances are charming, particularly from the lead, who embodies that earnest yet slightly bumbling persona. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on character-driven humor. Overall, it’s distinctive for its blend of social commentary and lighthearted antics, making it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate the nuances of 30s cinema.

Has a mix of charm and satire.Interesting take on the education system.Good performances that reflect the period's comedic style.
