GIRLS WILL BE BOYS

GB
1934
1hr 10mins
Dir: Marcel Varnel
Starring: Dolly Haas and Edward Chapman

A young woman dresses up as a boy to fool a wealthy misogynist

This vintage comedy is based on The Last Lord, a play by Kurt Siodmak. The film features a scene shot at ‘King’s Compton’, a country railway station. In reality this is a rather rural looking Elstree & Borehamwood, long before the post WWII development and the spread of housing. A train is standing in the Down Fast platform (No.4) and although there are good shots of the LMS coaching stock no locomotive is seen.

Stood beneath the footbridge at Elstree & Borehamwood and we get a glimpse of the classic Midland Railway glazed awnings
This shot of the platforms shows Edward Chapman about to board a train of LMS 3rd Class stock
