Love Finds Andy Hardy(1938)*


LOVE FINDS ANDY HARDY(1938)

I got to know about this movie
because of Judy Garland.

I couldn't stop smiling 
during the entire movie.


This movie is one of the episodes 
in the "Judge Hardy's Children" series 
and many people considered it as the best episode
in the series.

Also,
the movie was selected and preserved
in the United States National Film Registry
by the Library of Congress and it was labeled as
"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
(by WIKIPEDIA)



In the movie,
Andy Hardy is loved by three girls at the same time.
Since he cannot take two girls to the big Christmas dance simultaneously,
he is in a catch-22 situation.
Betsy Booth, who is one of the three girls, also likes
Andy but he thinks she is just a child.

So, Betsy tries to be a more gorgeous and glamorous girl
so that he takes her to the Christmas dance!

Now, who would Andy choose?


The Memorable Song in the Movie
"In-Between" by Judy Garland 




Betsy expresses her feeling of being 
in between adults and children age by this song. 
I like this song the most.
I cannot believe this song is sung 
by such a young girl. 
I can feel her emotion 
that she wants to express and convey to audiences by this song.
Moreover,
I love her appealing voice.

 The Memorable Line 


Betsy Booth(Judy Garland): "You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna write
an Andy Hardy page in my memory book and read it every day for five years.
Cuz on account of you I was grown up for one night - just like Cinderella - with 
an evening dress and high heels and leading a grand march! you see, Andy, now 
I know how wonderful life's gonna be when I'm eighteen. And you did it all."

  1. Whenever I listen to Judy Garland's song, I admire her brilliant talent of expression: her face expression such as eye-contact, gesture, voice tone! Same sentence or song could have a lots of various color depending on who the actor is-How interesting! And I'm very pleased to know one talented actor and singer, Judy Garland, thanks to you, Sienna : )
