5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful!, 31 Jul 2003

By	"laura_salt" - See all my reviews

I must say that this has to be my favourite film of all time. Twiggy makes a brilliant newcomer to the film industry, as does her character - Polly Browne, who, incidently is a newcomer to the stage. It's a lovely story with a happy ending. The songs are fabulous, I'm certainly singing along!
This film is a must! Twiggy is beautiful and portrays a lovely young lady in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the DVD?, 20 Oct 2006

By	Dr Featherweight (Stratford, Warwickshire, UK) - See all my reviews

Rotten day at work? Vile weather? Stinky flu? Generally feeling sorry for yourself? Jim-jams and slippers, hot chocolate, toast and jam, cat on lap - and on with 'The Boyfriend'.

I loved this film as a very young teenager, its joyous, completely silly and serves the same feel-good purpose as 'Singin' in the Rain' or the original 'Producers' - I'm delighted to see it's on video (for years you couldn't get it in the UK at all), but MGM - WHERE IS THE DVD?

5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic In Every Sense, 8 Sep 2005

By	Mr. David Quirey (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you love the art of silent movies then this is the movie for you. Set in 1924 the boyfiend was a musical production in the lower suberbs of London. There are many well known faces in this classic hit and the music is just unforgettable, not to mention all the talented dancers, costume designers and cinematographers. If you are mad about the crazy twenties then this is the ideal movie to watch.

Thank you for promptly sending the VHS and DVD of The 1971 Boyfriend Film. It is certainly nostalgia to view the film again after so long and the VHS and DVD play very well.
