Judge Hardy learns that he is in line to inherit $2 million...or is he? What will it do to his family? To him? He's about to find out, and although by today's standards the crises seem minor, it's a shock to the judge.
This is a fairly good Andy Hardy movie, although I was hoping in the nightclub sequence that we might see some of Mickey Rooney's lively dancing ability. Alas, we did not.
Lewis Stone is fine -- as always -- as Judge Hardy (what a wonderful character actor). Mickey Rooney almost seems a bit subdued here; not his best outing in this series. Cecilia Parker as one of the daughters was okay...and for awhile I thought she was a very young Lana Turner. Fay Holden good as mother Hardy. Ann Rutherford as Polly Benedict has only a very small part here. Sara Haden good as 'Aunt Milly'. One of my favorite character actors -- Minor Watson -- has a role as a romantic swindler; not one of his better roles.
Not the best of the Andy Hardy series, but decent.
