Boris Petroff (December 19, 1894 – November 1972)[1][2] was a film director and producer who specialized in low budget exploitation films.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] He sometimes used the pseudonym Brooke L. Peters.[3] He included stock footage in some of his films.[3]

In 1929 he directed a production titled Noah's Lark featuring Morton and Mayo, modeled after the 1928 film Noah's Ark.[citation needed]

He asked Eddie Cochran to be in his musical comedy film The Girl Can't Help It in 1956. Cochran performed the song "Twenty Flight Rock" in the movie.

Petroff married Jane Mann, a screenwriter who co-wrote the scripts for The Unearthly and Anatomy of a Psycho. Gloria Petroff , their daughter, was in his films Two Lost Worlds and The Unearthly.

In 2014, MoMA screened the 1936 film Hats Off he directed.[10]
