    • Quotes

      Marian Hardy: Did you ever speak ten words to a cute number without hinting that she was the most beautiful girl in the world?

      Andy Hardy: Marian, I always start off conservative like that and then I work up. That system's been the secret of my success.

      Marian Hardy: Keep on using that system and you'll find yourself where a lot of fellas do.

      Andy Hardy: Where's that?

      Marian Hardy: Engaged to marry a girl without even having to mention the subject.

      Andy Hardy: Oh my gosh! Don't women ever know when you're kiddin'?

      Marian Hardy: Not when they're told they're beautiful by anything wearing pants.

      Andy Hardy: Women are worse than I thought.

    Esther Williams really looks "hot" this flick!

    I must admit that aqua-fem Esther certainly made a big "splash" in this, her film debut. I can certainly understand how she's able to turn Andy into mush with her charm assault and why he prefers her company to plain old Polly, who looks pretty pedestrian in comparison to Esther's ethereal (yet s-e-x-y!) beauty.
