Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble (1944)

Director:  George B. Seitz
Cast:  Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney

Fourteenth Andy Hardy picture!

PLOT:  Andy (Mickey Rooney) is off to college!  On the train to school, Andy meets a girl, Kay Wilson (Bonita Granville) and Dr. M.J. Standish (Herbert Marshall).  Little does he know, two crazy girls, Lee and Lyn Walker (Lee and Lyn Wilde) are on the train.

Meanwhile, Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone) is ill.  He enlists the help of a doctor, Lee Wong Howe (Keye Luke), whom he attempts to sell a car that was owned by Katy Anderson (Jean Porter).

Andy and crew finally arrive at Wainwright College.  Andy asks Kay to the Freshman Breakfast the next morning.  Andy makes a re-acquaintance with Dr. Standish, who turns out to be the dean of Wainwright.

At the Freshman breakfast, Andy makes a scene, gesturing to Lyn that he wants her.  He finally gets a kiss from her, but she turns out to be a bit too clingy.

Meanwhile, back home, Dr. Lee insists that Judge Hardy, who has been reduced to lying on the couch unable to talk, get his tonsils out.  Judge Hardy agrees.

Classes have started at Wainwright!  Lyn gets some bad news and Kay sees Andy kissing her.  She forgives him and they make a date.

Andy happens upon Lyn singing and finds out there's two of them.  He promises not to tell anyone there's two of them, but Dr. Standish finds out and Andy must cover up for them.  Dr. Standish tells Kay and she kisses him.  Meanwhile, Andy poses as Dr. Standish and tells the girls' father that Lee is not with Lyn, and the girls thank him.

Andy packs up his things and prepares to leave, fearing that he'll be thrown out of his year.  However, Judge Hardy visits his son instead.  He finds out that his father and Dr. Standish went to school together, and that his father talked Dr. Standish out of quitting school.  He also learns that Dr. Standish has been appointed his own personal consulate.  At that moment, the girls come back and say that Lee can stay with Lyn until Thanksgiving break.  Andy is cleared of all his troubledoing and gets off scot-free, and finds a new girl!  

REVIEW:  For me being a college student, I can really relate to this movie.  It was fun and light-hearted and Mickey, as always, was cute as a button.  The jokes were cute and funny too.  5 out of 5 stars.
