Andy Hardy, Terror Of The Range

Though this Hardy Family film is listed as a comedy, it includes a healthy dose of tears, which may be why it gets lesser marks than others in the series. Still, Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney) brings his brand of teenage silliness to the proceedings.

The family goes out west to visit friends who own a working ranch. They are having problems that Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone) might be able to help with. Daughter Marian (Cecilia Parker) is smitten with a ranch hand, and Andy reluctantly pals around with a spunky cowgirl named Jake, played by Virginia Weidler (who appears in two other films with Rooney).

The show business adage says you should never work with children or animals, but Rooney does both here and, though Virginia is a real scene-stealer, he holds his own. A better film that shows Rooney's western talents is "Girl Crazy" (1943).
