Director: Ralph Staub
A heartthrob singer decides to wed a Swedish actress. His manager doesn't want this because he is afraid of losing female fans, so he takes up a $300,000 insurance policy if his singer does in fact wed.
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!
That was a good scene.
She was great wasn't she.?
That was funny. The character of Mrs, Potts was the funniest one!!
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!
Thank you! love those midatlantic accents :)
It always amaze me the way people dressed before 1950, so elegant and dignified.
Yes, we've become slummers most of the time. People do not dress up even for church, like they used to.
That was Hollywood it was the middle of the depression the reality was a lot different
It would be lovely if people dressed with elegance like that today
I read these comments all the time. They dressed like this in the movies, not so much in real life. I know. I was there.
@@jamesricker3997 True . The reality was a LOT different.
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.
Love the hand lettering on the billboard.I did that for many years.
Pizza Flix you offer the BEST movies. Thank you so much. Another wonderful warm fuzzy music-filled romantic joy ride of supreme optimism. Love it.

The part when she stutters with the Texas Terrors,I 🤣🤣🤣..best line in the movie 🎬cucucucut that corn clean on up interstststate 40🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've done it again,another great start on Sunday morning 🙂 🍞☕Gratitude for this comedy/bits of mystery & plain old trying to outsmart each other & getting caught in their own plan. 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!
Thank you for sharing this charming old picture!🌷
"You Are My Rose Bud" was so awful I liked it because it made my laugh 😂
Love me some old movies, I absolutely loved watching this, and just imagined, it was a voice over the radio without your picture, he was able to ride the bus and live a normal Life...as for nowadays, well it is what it is I guess, to each's own...🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for sharing this movie...🌻🌻🌻
Excellent 🎥. Thanks for this
Most enjoyable and funny! Loved it! Thanks a million 🙏🙏🙏❤️😁
Cute picture! Back when music was music and singing was singing.
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 RUclips actually has as the thumbnail - that of the guy standing there with his mouth open. How could RUclips not know that?
This movie made me think of butterfly hunting 1967 and the world was my oyster. Good times
This movie is so funny loved it thank you
Also the fact, that "Swedish actress" supposed to look like Greta Garbo, makes the picture even more funny.
She didn't look like Greta Garbo , not a bit.
That b.f. could invent tunes and lyrics in his head: he never rehearsed once!
That is the original Alice Kramden.... Pert Kendel
Pert Kelton. I looked it up. Wasn't she wonderful in "Music Man", as Shirley Jones' mother?
Thanks for sharing this sweet comedy...but I ask myself what happened to the mattress ;-).
I think it went back in the alley where they got it from! 💖 🇨🇦
Oh, the sheer quality of the Beverly Hill Billies' performance! Is that really Hughes' voice? I doubt it.
Yes, they were so much fun - a hill-billy version of Spike Jones!
👍🏼cute 🥰
What a sweet movie, love to see more of these. And I agree Miss Pert (wonder where she got that name?) was the show stealer.
Thank you for sharing this rare gem.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really loved the movie!!!!
Yay, Smiley!
LOL one of the cast is Beverly Hill Billies
wow! the original Gong Show at 27.00
The most annoying Gong episode!
@@therealmeemawmallen9493 wow, thanks for the reply. I don't even remember making this comment or even watching the movie.. Now I will have to watch it again for the first time.....lol
Thank you. I enjoyed it 😊
So nice ,,
Hollywood Television Service? Interesting.
Republic sold a chunk of their features to be broadcast on early TV thus the odd 'brand' name.
Title should be: 'Meet the Line fluffers.' 🤔
Funny movie
real fun
Carol Hughes was good but Pert Kelton stole my heart.
Can anyone explain the disappearance of Vilma Vlare (Gwili Andre) in the last reel? Her character as the Swedish fiance is completely dropped from the narrative without resolution or explanation.Very odd.
"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.
@@edwinbradley3121 Thanks so much for clarifying this anomaly for me.Much appreciated.Do you know if the original version is available anywhere?
I have seen Pert Kelton in a few movies, and I think she should have had better and bigger roles. She was under used. I wish she had a bigger career.
She was blacklisted during the MCarthy era
The singing was kind of annoying I did not like any of the music Know one had any on screen chemistry The Hillbilly musical number was nice~ My mom and dad always loved to watch Heehaw together and those ~guys reminded me of that show~ The storyline has good potential~
