The Boys is a 1962 British courtroom drama film, directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Richard Todd, Robert Morley and Felix Aylmer.The screenplay was by Stuart Douglass.

Flashbacks of the teenagers' insecure and sometimes alienated lives contrast strongly with the austere legality of the courtroom as, by degrees, the truth emerges.

The prosecution spots a flaw in the overall logic of the boys' stories: Stan says that he bought a packet of cigarettes for his mother at a time when he did not even have the bus fare home.

[2] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Furie's direction, good as it is, cannot maintain interest for two hours in a script that is both repetitive and inadequately motivated, and he is too obsessed with courtroom detail to cut as often as he should.

Todd is adequate; Morley plays shamelessly for laughs; neither is sufficiently self-effacing to avoid ruining the authentic anonymity that Furie might otherwise have achieved with his courtroom setting.

The film becomes both patronising and predictable as canny lawyer Richard Todd champions the lads' cause, but the strong cast redeems the movie.
