Review of Andy Hardy Comes Home

This film was made in 1958 as a coming of middle age nostalgia film for the depression/WWII generation of kids who grew up in the 30's and 40's. Mickey Rooney and the Andy Hardy series were the biggest thing in movies in those days. If you saw the original movies you will have fun seeing Andy Hardy as an adult in the late 50s. Too many major characters are missing. Lewis Stone who played Judge Hardy died in 1953, Betsy Booth and Polly Benedict are not in this film and they were major characters in the series. I hated they did not marry Andy Hardy to Bonita Granville's Kay Wilson. MGM could have done better by the Andy Hardy Series and done a better reunion movie.
