VHS Movie Reviews of Andy Hardy's Private Secretary [VHS]

Movie Review: "Judge Hardy, I have a surprise for you!"
Summary: 4 Stars

It is time for senior graduation and Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney) is more excited than anyone, and has taken on more work than anyone too. He is the senior class president but he is also overseeing the senior play which he is in charge of writing, directing, and acting in, he is on the yearbook committee, and he is in charge of the male uniform for graduation. It is no wonder he finds the help of a secretary (Kathryn Grayson) so helpful. Kathryn Land and her family are somewhat poor, so they haven't been active with student affairs before, but Andy's enthusiasm is infectious. With the help of Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone), Mr. Land finds a swell job, but Andy just might manage to mess it up.

As always, Rooney's boundless energy is the pivotal part of the show. Without him, this story would be nowhere near as entertaining. It is nice to see Grayson in an early performance, and she shows of her talent for operatic singing. Unfortunately, her worst two songs are the two at the finale. "The Mad Scene" aria is dismal because she looks so bored singing it, and she isn't very good at syncing with the recording. "I've Got My Eyes on You" is a more upbeat swing song, but her vocal style is not suited for this type of music and sounds awkward. She gives a good acting performance though, and blends in nicely with the stock cast.
