Pairing Judy Garland with Mickey Rooney was cinema gold for MGM and they really hit the big time when Garland was cast in the Andy Hardy series of films as best friend Betsy, who pines after Rooney’s clueless cad-about-town. Here Garland has to compete with a young Lana Turner for his affections, and the film showcases her comedic skills along with that amazing voice.
