No relation to the much-later musical comedy of the same name, The Boy Friend focuses on the misadventures of dreamy-eyed Marceline Day. Unhappy with her small-town home and middle-class family, our heroine yearns to attend a high-society party. To accommodate the girl, her boyfriend John Harron bankrolls the very sort of party that she craves. Not unexpectedly, everything goes hilariously awry, and Day learns the hard way to appreciate what she has in her own back yard. Prolific character actress Elizabeth Patterson made her screen debut at the tender age of 50 in The Boy Friend.
