Well, my problem with the “Andy Hardy” (Mickey Rooney) series is that I find the films too cutesy and calculated, and dripping with that glossy MGM artiface.

Do you know any of the background behind AH?

I see I messed up the lineup and forgot Sherlock Holmes:

Well, I believe both “Andy Hardy” and “Henry Aldrich” had their origins in stage-plays. And that in the “Hardy” one, the character of Andy wasn’t originally the focal point.
