Betsy Booth (Judy Garland) is still obsessed with Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney). The Judge advises college to study law but Andy wants to get a job in New York City. He heads off with Betsy by his side but he still treats her as a kid. In the city, he sets his sight on receptionist Jennitt Hicks. He befriends terribly troubled Jimmy Frobisher.
It's the 11th installment in the Hardy family franchise and the last one with Judy Garland. The franchise missed a golden opportunity to make Judy a permanent part of the family. With the way Andy treats Betsy, I fully support her getting a fresh start away from him. He really needs to evolve his feelings for her or set her free. I'm guessing that they would eventually get there but Judy is way too big at this point. The franchise needs to either transition to a duo or she can't waste her time.
I am trying to rack my brain if this is the first death in the series. It seems to be trying for some darker tones. The night with Jennitt really surprised me. It's very adult and out of place for the franchise. This seems to be a fork in the road for the series in more than one way.
