Movie Reviews of Love Finds Andy Hardy

Movie Review: Mickey and Judy: the junior MGM dream-team
Summary: 4 Stars

The fourth and arguably the best of the "Judge Hardy's Family" series, LOVE FINDS ANDY HARDY introduced Judy Garland as impish girl-next-door Betsy Booth, and also co-starred young Lana Turner as another possible girlfriend for the lovelorn Andy.

When he needs to raise the extra $8 for his dream car, Andy (Mickey Rooney) agrees to take his friend's demanding, red-headed girlfriend Cynthia (Lana Turner) to the annual Christmas dance. Trouble is, he's more or less promised to take good ole Polly Benedict (Ann Rutherford) too! And when bright-eyed Betsy Booth (Judy Garland) starts swooning as well, poor Andy begins to wish that kissing had never been invented...

Judy Garland's entry into the Andy Hardy films ushered her into the hearts of film fans all over the world. She'd appear in three more of the titles, as well as a series of special musicals with Mickey Rooney (including STRIKE UP THE BAND and BABES IN ARMS). They were such good friends--both on and off the screen--and you can simply tell they were having a ball here. Only one year away from her legendary performance as Dorothy in THE WIZARD OF OZ, Garland sings three thrilling numbers ("In-Between", "It Never Rains But What It Pours" and "Meet the Beat of My Heart").

Sunny, funny entertainment for the whole family.

Summary of Love Finds Andy Hardy

Andy frantically tries to juggle two girlfriends at the same time.

It's hard to overstate just how corny and funny the Andy Hardy series of the 1930s and 1940s looks by today's standards--but that doesn't mean these films don't have a certain winning quality. It doesn't matter whether it's Mickey Rooney's winningly goofy blend of lust and innocence as a high school kid dying to make out with his girlfriend or his surprisingly touching man-to-man talks with his father, Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone). Think of this film as the precursor to "Archie" comic books, with its story of young Andy, desperate for the money to buy a car, winding up with three dates to the same formal dance. Rooney is engaging as the motor-mouthed (yet deceptively thoughtful) teen in pre-World War II, tail-end-of-the-Depression, small-town America: often in a coat and tie, always in a dandyish porkpie hat. This was the first film in this series in which Judy Garland appeared as girl-next-door Betsy Booth. --Marshall Fine
