Historical Production & Location Reference

Film: The Boy Friend (1928)
Star: Max Davidson
Studio: Hal Roach Studios
Featured Historical Landmarks:
  • Downtown Culver City: The primary location for the film's chase and sequences, capturing the area's development in the late 1920s.
  • The Culver Hotel: A central architectural anchor of the city, utilized prominently throughout the production.

Production & Preservation Note: The filming of The Boy Friend serves as a fantastic historical record of the Culver City downtown district. Nearly a century later, the original storefronts and iconic streetscapes remain largely unchanged. This allows for a direct, precise comparison between the 1928 footage and the present-day city, offering a clear view of how these historic architectural landmarks have been preserved through the decades.

This is the second of two Quick Preview Videos for The Boy Friend and focuses on the second half of the film where Max tries to convince the young suitor he is NOT crazy!
