Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene at the beginning of the movie shows Andy reminiscing about giving Betsy Booth his music pin. This is actually a scene from the movie Babes in Arms (1939). Mickey Rooney needed to dub Betsy's name and it's obvious his lips don't match what he says.
- GoofsNear the end of the movie, when the family gathers outside to meet the townspeople, Chuck comes out of the front door twice.
- Quotes
Thomas Chandler: Stop talking like George Washington. Let's be practical.
- Crazy creditsInstead of "The End," this film concludes with a title card saying "To Be Continued." But there were no further Hardy films and no continuation.
- Alternate versionsOriginally, the print ended as Mickey Rooney accepts a judgeship at Carvel and shows him on the judge's bench with the words "to be continued" superimposed on the frame at the end. This is the version currently shown on the Turner Classic Movies channel, but it was for press previews only. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor changed their minds and decided not to continue the series, so the version released to the public simply ended without reference to Andy Hardy becoming a judge.

Featured review
This movie hails from a time when MGM had fallen on hard times and was looking to relive it's glory days of the 30's and 40's by creating new versions of it's classic films. The Andy Hardy series was the role of Mickey Rooney's career. This film was a nice effort. A shame Lewis Stone who played Judge Hardy passed away in 1953, his absence really hurt this 1958 remake. Ann Rutherford's absence as Andy's old love Polly Benedict also hurt this film. This is strictly a trip down memory lane movie for old Andy Hardy fans. The problem is it is rarely shown. I saw it last one Saturday in 1987 and have not seen it since. Turner Classic Movies which owns the series does show the older Andy Hardy movies but not this one.
