3.0 out of 5 stars Grayson triumphs, January 17, 2001

This review is from: Andy Hardy's Private Secretary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Love Finds Andy Hardy" is usually considered the best film in the Hardy Family series, but "Andy Hardy's Private Secretary" might come in a close second primarily because of Kathryn Grayson's strong performance in this, her first film outing at age 19. Grayson was touted as MGM's answer to Deanna Durbin at Universal, and this especially shows in her florid coloratura soprano voice that one finds lighter and freer than Durbin's with an astonishing ease of movement up and down scales. Grayson's acting is unusually good as well.

The film is typical Hardy fare with Andy getting into more than he bargained for trying to prepare a Greek tragedy piece for his graduation, not to mention flunking his required English exam thus threatening his own graduation. But as always everything turns out well in the end for Andy et al. This was the tenth entry in the Andy Hardy series and well worth viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Better in the Andy Hardy Series, June 18, 2006

This review is from: Andy Hardy's Private Secretary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was one of the better of the Andy Hardy films. Kathryn Grayson is utterly lovely in it. This Hardy film more than others is loaded with New Deal era political correctness which in many ways enhances the films appeal. All the Andy Hardy movies were personal projects of Louis B. Mayer and his hand is all over these movies. The Andy Hardy series was the role of Mickey Rooney's career. When are we going to see on video or DVD The last Andy Hardy movie?. The 1958 Andy Hardy Comes Home.!

This review is from: Andy Hardy's Private Secretary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is one of the best of the Andy Hardy films. Kathyrin Grayson in her first role is terrific. Mickey Rooney is outstanding as ALWAYS. Mickey in my opinion is the best. The movie had a great and funny story. In this movie Andy Hardy gets into a lot of funny scrapes including trouble with his girlfriend Polly Benedict. I would Highly recommend purchasing this film. It's great!
