Patzer
When the family all arrive in the dining room for dinner and Marian is in the negligee she intends to wear as an evening dress, the doorbell rings. Already seated, Marian volunteers to answer the door, but Andy stops her and goes to the door himself as the camera briefly follows him. When the scene cuts back to the dinner table Marian is standing again and then seats herself again.

Zitate
Judge Hardy: Well, I think a newspaper article should be about the length of a lady's skirt; long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to be interesting.

The Judge Fixes Andy Up

In The Courtship Of Andy Hardy, Lewis Stone gets Andy to actually help him out with one of his troubling domestic cases. In small town Carvel where everybody knows everybody and everybody's business, I guess this extralegal activity is expected especially from one who takes his obligations of office seriously as Judge Hardy did.

The ongoing battles between divorced parents Harvey Stephens and Frieda Inescourt are having deleterious effect on their daughter Donna Reed. Donna plays a plain Jane sort who doesn't socialize much. As Stone knows the parents he fixes Andy up with Reed. He can do so because Andy's steady girl Ann Rutherford is out of town. That's a running Hardy series gimmick, Polly Benedict goes out of town and Andy gets to play around.

Not all the family problems are with Andy in this film. Cecelia Parker as sister Marian has herself involved with William Lundigan, a decent enough fellow, but with a severe drinking problem. Again the personal and professional roles of Judge Hardy get kind of mixed in this situation as well.

The Courtship Of Andy Hardy is not a bad example of what this series was all about. But were families ever as wholesome as the Hardys?
