'''''Good Morning, Boys!''''' is a 1937 British [[comedy film]] directed by [[Marcel Varnel]] and featuring [[Will Hay]], [[Graham Moffatt]], [[Martita Hunt]], [[Lilli Palmer]] and [[Peter Gawthorne]]. It was made at the [[Gainsborough Studios]] in [[Islington]].<ref>Wood p.90</ref>

The film marked the first appearance of both [[Peter Gawthorne]] and [[Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914)|Charles Hawtrey]] in a Will Hay film, both of whom would go onto act as straight men to Hay in his future films.

==Plot==
[[Will Hay]] plays the roguish headmaster, [[Dr Benjamin Twist|Dr Twist]], of a dubious boarding school for boys. Twist bets on the [[horse racing|horses]] with his pupils and teaches them little. Colonel Willoughby-Gore attempts to sack the incompetent Twist but is foiled when he and his boys, after fraudulently gaining resounding success in a French examination, are invited to [[Paris]] by the French ministry of education.

In Paris they become involved with a gang of criminals, including escaped convict Arty Jones, father of one of the boys, and Yvette, a night club singer, who are attempting to steal the ''[[Mona Lisa]]'' from the [[Louvre]] and replace it with a duplicate.

==Cast==
*[[Will Hay]] as [[Dr Benjamin Twist]]
*[[Martita Hunt]] as Lady Bagshott

==Critical reception==
[[Allmovie]] wrote, "the magnificent Will Hay re-creates his vaudeville characterization of a supercilious schoolmaster...But the inimitable, toothless [[Moore Marriott]] (aka "Harbottle") is conspicuous by his absence."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/good-morning-boys-v93585 |title=Good Morning, Boys (1937) - Trailers, Reviews, Synopsis, Showtimes and Cast |publisher=AllMovie |access-date=2014-03-22}}</ref>
