    What America Was Like, Once, long ago.....
    Many skeptics scoff at these types of movies, where America is great, clean and pure, where problems have simply solutions. Simply, yes, we complicate things and movies like this remind us how fine life can be.

    Andy Hardy movies are just this, fine and simple.
