After what seemed an interminable stay at Carvel high school young Andy Hardy is finally packed up and headed for Wainwright College, the alma mater of dear old dad, Lewis Stone. Would you doubt that Andy would go anywhere else?
A few years earlier Bud Abbott and Lou Costello when they were doing In The Navy there was a plot gambit involving Martha Raye as a pair of twins who were confusing both Bud and Lou. Nearly the whole film of Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble has Andy in a similar state of confusion involving fellow freshmen Lee and Lyn Wilde and what they put him through on the train to Wainwright. Them and Herbert Marshall who is the Dean of the college and an old pal of Lewis Stone's.
Andy also meets Bonita Granville about whom he's going to get interested at least until this film of the series is over.
The Hardy family was about running its course and even given his height Mickey was getting a bit old to be playing an eternal juvenile. And the twin gambit really wasn't enough to carry the whole film through. The Mick does a really nice impersonation of Herbert Marshall. Mimickry was one of his many talents.
One more thing though, I cannot believe that freshman had to wear those stupid looking beanies back in the day. A custom I'm glad we grew out of.
