Hey Boy! Hey Girl! (1959): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1959, Hey Boy! Hey Girl! is a komödie and musik film directed by David Lowell Rich, running about 83 minutes. “DISCOVER The Year's Happiest Movie, Starring the No. 1 Song-and-Fun Team!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Meant primarily as TV fare, this standard, song-filled romantic drama stars Louis Prima as himself, and his real-life wife Keely Smith as Dorothy Spencer, a devout woman with a good singing voice. Dorothy is active in her local parish which like all parishes, is constantly thinking of ways to raise funds. One of the needy projects is a boys' camp, so when Dorothy is approached by Louis Prima to sing with his band she agrees only on one condition -- that he perform a concert benefit for the parish church and boys' camp. The interactions between Dorothy and Prima lead toward romance and a happy ending, as well as a popular album with the same title song featured in this film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi (NY Times Review).
