VHS Movie Reviews of The Andy Hardy Collection - Life Begins for Andy Hardy [VHS]
Movie Review: Life Begins For Andy Hardy
Summary: 4 Stars
Judy Garland (in her third and final appearance on the Andy Hardy movie) plays Betsy Booth, and though she lost none of her charm, she did lose the childish look she had in "Love Finds Andy Hardy" and replaced it with the more glamorous "Presenting Lily Mars" look.
I think one of the reasons that I don't like "Life Begins For Andy Hardy" as much, would have to be the fact that Judy Garland isn't in very much of the movie. It's all about the problems that a small town boy like Andy (Mickey Rooney) has in the big city. He has just graduated from Carvel High School and has dreams of high living, but becomes disappointed when he can't find a job in New York City.
Summary of The Andy Hardy Collection - Life Begins for Andy Hardy [VHS]
Given the namby-pamby reputation of the Andy Hardy series--always thought of as a paradigm for upbeat, Depression-era middle America--this is a film with a surprising mix of tones, as Andy tries life on his own. Having graduated from high school and kissed his girlfriend Polly (Ann Rutherford) goodbye when she left for the summer, Andy has to figure out what to do with his own life. His father wants him to go to college and become a lawyer, but Andy wants to put off college to go work in New York. As an experiment, Andy agrees to spend a summer month in New York working before making his decision--and gets considerable proof that the world is a much starker, tougher place than he'd imagined. Mickey Rooney is very good in this loss-of-innocence performance. Check out his father-son chat with Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone), who offers his own arguments for premarital chastity. Judy Garland appears (but doesn't sing) as girl-next-door Betsy Booth. --Marshall FineComedy VHS Video
