Bonita Granville was the best actor in it!
I watched it just to see her. Rooney's Andy Hardy character seems like an overgrown schoolboy in this continuation of the Andy Hardy films. He comes home from the army and returns to college, still a freshman but immature as a fourteen year old. His brash cockiness with girls is a real turn-off. Bonita, on the other hand, gives a smooth and polished performance in her brief appearance as Kay Wilson. Andy plans to ask Kay to marry him, but she forestalls the question by announcing that she's going to marry someone else. It's one of the few times Andy Hardy faces the real world. He's obviously shocked and upset, which is not helped when Kay asks him to be best man. The charm of the earlier Andy Hardy movies is not present in this one.
