Girls Will Be Boys is a 1934 British comedy film helmed by the French director Marcel Varnel, featuring performances by Dolly Haas, Cyril Maude, and Esmond Knight. The production was undertaken by British International Pictures and released through Wardour Films. Its narrative is adapted from The Last Lord, a theatrical work penned by Kurt Siodmak. Filming took place at Elstree Studios, with art direction and set design led by Cedric Dawe. This project represented Haas's debut in English-language cinema, following a Nazi-instigated disturbance at the premiere of her earlier film Das häßliche Mädchen, protesting the involvement of Max Hansen, who was deemed "too Jewish." In response to escalating political unrest, Haas departed Germany in 1936.
