This is one of the 12 capers of Andy Hardy movies starring Mickey Rooney, which started production in 1939. When Andy Hardy returns home from service, his mother Emily Hardy (Fay Holden), and his father Judge James Hardy (Lewis Stone) are thrilled to see him back. Under the watchful eyes of his parents, Andy shows clear signs of a typical young man who is in love. All he wants to do is go back to college and ask his beautiful sweetheart Kay Wilson (Bonita Granville) for marriage. Things go awry whenever he tries to pop the question. Meanwhile he makes new friends at the college, and dates a much taller Coffey Smith (Dorothy Ford) who is beautiful and gracious to Andy. She offers some fine performance not only as Andy's date for a freshman dance at the college, but also as a great friend. The dance scenes with Coffey Smith are hilarious as much as the way his parents try to discover who his love interest is. Ultimately Andy discovers the real truth that his girl will not be his wife because she is getting married to a much older man for wealth and money. Disappointed and hurt, Andy tries to go to South America to work, and nothing changes his mind until he finds out who his new employer will be. Lina Romay offers another excellent performance as young family friend, Isobel Gonzales who shows interest in Andy, but the friendship remains with no luck for romance.
There is some excellent writing by William Ludwig. I highly recommend this to any parent who is in a desperate situation to talk to their sons or daughter being dumped, and they are planning to join the army or go elsewhere. The conversation between James Hardy and Andy Hardy gets high points as he makes so much sense to young Andy without hurting his feelings. The fatherly advice is very mature and thought provoking.

Here's Andy!
13 Jan 2003
This film starts with Andy Hardy returning home after serving in the army. And it's not too long before he's caught up in the usual Hardy capers. Mickey Rooney was a dab hand at portraying Andy Hardy by now though at 26, perhaps a little on the mature side for this role. That aside, this is a fine addition to the Hardy series with Lewis Stone, Fay Holden and Sara Haden reprising their parts in what would be the penultimate film of the series. Worth your time and check out that scene at the dance with Dorothy Ford....

Very Funny Film
18 Jan 2001
This movie is thoroughly enjoyable. The scenes between Mickey Rooney (as Andy Hardy) and his blind date are hysterical. The expressions on his parents faces when they think that this is the girl their son wants to marry are priceless. The dance scenes have to be seen to be belived. Of course as in all of the Andy Hardy movies with Lewis Stone as the father and Fay Holden as the mother, the parent / child conversations are wonderful. I highly recommend this Andy Hardy movie and any others you can get your hands on.

GREAT AND FUNNY MOVIE!!!!!!!
22 Nov 2004
This movie is absolutely hilarious!!!! Mickey Rooney is just awesome in this movie and he is in all of the Andy Hardy pictures. The dance with his MUCH taller date is just hilarious. So many funny things happen to Andy in this movie you will find yourself laughing a lot. ANdy is also thinking of asking a girl to marry him in this movie, but he is sorely hurt....you will have to watch to find out what happens. I would highly recommend this film for anyone, especially fans of the great Mickey Rooney.
