Boys will be boys is a 1935 United Kingdom comedy film directed by William Beaudine which stars Will Hay, Gordon Harker and Jimmy Hanley. The film is set at Narkover School, where headmaster Doctor Alec Smart (Will Hay) becomes involved in the disappearance of a valuable necklace.
The setting is loosely based on the works of Beachcomber (Pen name), where Narkover is a school specializing in gambling and extortion, and the headmaster is a "Dr. Smart-Allick".
