Boy! What a Girl!

Boy What a Girl is a 1947 race film directed by Arthur H. Leonard and starring Tim Moore, with guest appearances by the Brown Dots, Slam Stewart, Sid Catlett and Gene Krupa.

Boy What a Girl was planned to be the first in a series of allblack race films produced by the independent company Herald Pictures. The films press kit acknowledged the segregated distribution patterns of the race film by proclaiming Boy What a Girl would be an allNegro motion picture can be produced to play in any theater in the country and not merely confined to the some 600 odd playhouses that cater strictly to an allNegro audience. The film was shot at the Fox Movietone Studio in New York City. Gene Krupa, the only white member of the cast, was not originally signed to appear in the film director Arthur H. Leonard invited Krupa to be on camera when the famous drummer stopped by to visit cast member Sid Catlett on the set. ........
