BOYS WILL BE BOYS is an amusing and genteel British comedy vehicle for Will Hay, here appearing in his famous 'school master' role for the first time. He plays a prison teacher who gets transferred to a posh school, where all manner of shenanigans arise. Most of the plot stems from Hays and his run-ins with his unruly students, with the bit with him dragged behind the vehicle being a real highlight. More serious plotting involving criminality takes place later but overall it's quite light and breezy with an emphasis for physical on-screen jokes. Actors playing the pupils include Jimmy Hanley alongside minor turns from the likes of Clive Dunn and Charles Hawtrey.
