”Well, Betsy’s a New Yorker so of course she carries a gat.”
The Hardy’s head to New York as Judge Hardy fights to save his hometown’s orphanage and as usual Andy’s mouth had been writing checks his body can’t cash. This time he needs to prove to his school that the big apple’s hottest debutante, whom he’s never met, is madly in love with him.
It’s the ninth of sixteen Andy Hardy films and the second pairing of Mickey Rooney with Judy Garland as she quietly pines for him while he spends his time blindly making a fool of himself trying to blend in with high society.
”Well of all the ridiculous little boy exhibitions”
the andy hardy bs i watch for judy... !! she's worth it <3
but there is no world where andy hardy would pull that hard. extremely unrealistic
Damn, crushes can get you in a lot of trouble, Andy Hardy! Fun and humiliation for a small-town boy in the Big Apple. Good to have Judy Garland around. She and Mickey Rooney always had a special bond. Really made a silly scenario more pleasing.
"Andy, that's not charm, that's polygamy... but oh how we women love it."
Yikes.
Still, this is one of the better Andy Hardy films, at least of those I've seen so far. The return of Judy Garland to the series elevates everything, plus Andy himself is a bit less of an obnoxious tryhard. At first glance, his plotline is a bit cringey. He falls in love with a New York glamour girl through her pictures in the paper, then when he gets the chance to visit New York he doesn't quite understand why it's not a good idea to, oh, pop in at her house or show up at her social events. But Andy's navigating a social system that doesn't…
340: First off, is the wording on this title weird? It sounds weird to me. Shouldn't it be "Meets A Debutante"? Debutante is a title right, not a name? I don't know.
This one starts with America’s horniest teenager waking up and having to stash his glamour mag that he slept with. You see, Andy Hardy is in love with a famous debutante, and just has to meet her in New York or face shame in his hometown after bullshitting up a romance with her to justify his homemade wank-book. Emotional punching bag Judy Garland has to help him because she's devoted to him.
I didn’t like this one. The romance aspect plays the same as the previous film where…
The Hardy family goes to New York City. This one included Judy Garland and Diana Lewis, William Powell's longtime wife, as the debutante.
I learned a new word...gat. It's a handgun.
I only watched it for Judy, but the highlight was Judge Hardy modeling a fur coat for his wife.
Ahh. The Andy Hardy series again. I find something very comforting in watching these idealized family comedies, much like watching "The Andy Griffith Show" or "Father Knows Best". Clearly they exist in a world that never was, but the gee shucks of it all is something we can hope for in our world. The biggest issues are whether or not Andy Hardy can escape embarrassment or truly find the girl of his dreams seem so small in a world with growing racism, environmental decay or distrust in our elected officials. It is nice to escape those troubles even if for a moment. Clearly that is what they were designed for as the American was in the midst of the Depression…
Our Man Mickey plays his most famous character: Andy Hardy, who is always a narcissistic mope bitching, moaning, and disrespecting everyone around him due to perceived (and insignificant) slights against his mammoth ego. He is a manipulative terror who, yes, lies (to friends and family alike), cheats (on his rotating harem of pubescent women), and steals (especially from his judge father) his way through this film and every other lazy entry in this awful series without the slightest negative consequence. In the end, he gets what he wants: all his tiny troubles which he blows up out of proportion are resolved in his favor tenfold. All the eponymous bastard learns in "Andy Hardy Meets the Debutante"…
Andy I hate you so bad with your stupid facial expressions and disregarding everything betsy showed you around new york. You don't deserve happiness.
Betsy my sweet. Her first scene was so charming!
"You weren't a very good actor Andy"
"Sometimes a woman's intuition is better than a man's brain"
"Why are some men so dumb" well said betsy
