That's a Good Girl is a 1933 British comedy film directed by Jack Buchanan and starring Buchanan, Elsie Randolph and Dorothy Hyson. The film was based on a musical show of the same title that opened at the Empire Theatre, Cardiff on 6 February 1928, in which Jack Buchanan also starred. The music was written by Joseph Meyer and Phil Charig, with lyrics by Douglas Furber. The film omitted much of the music of the original show (and all of Ira Gershwin's contributions to the lyrics), but popularised one song in particular, Fancy our Meeting. The song remained a Jack Buchanan favourite and a version of it was also recorded by Al Bowlly shortly after the film's release.

The film was made at British and Dominion Elstree Studios, and its sets were designed by the art director Lawrence P. Williams.
