Boy Friend
1939, English. Directed by James Tinling.
Jane's gone romantic... but in that wild Withers way!
A cop pretends to be a crook in order to catch a gang of outlaws. The bad guys run a night club as a front. The cop's sister helps him by singing there; otherwise, she's busy making love to a military cadet.
