The Jazz Boy (Swedish: Jazzgossen) is a 1958 Swedish musical film directed by Hasse Ekman and starring Ekman, Maj-Britt Nilsson, Elof Ahrle and Georg Funkquist.[1] The film was an attempt to make a nostalgical cavalcade of the Swedish entertainment scene of the 1920s and 1930s, and featured many songs from that era. The film's sets were designed by the art director P.A. Lundgren.
