Andy Hardy Comes Home

The flashback showing Andy reminiscing about giving Betsy Booth his music pin is actually a scene from Babes in Arms (1939), a non-Hardy series collaboration between Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. Rooney was called upon to dub "Betsy"over the name "Patsy," and it's obvious his lips don't match what he says.

Andy is showing a fellow passenger on a an airplane his Carvel High yearbook. He mentions Betsy Booth (Judy Garland). Betsy Booth should not have been in the yearbook since she never went to Carvel High.

Instead of "The End," this film concludes with a title card saying "To Be Continued." But there were no further Hardy films and no continuation.

Originally, the print ended as Mickey Rooney accepts a judgeship at Carvel and shows him on the judge's bench with the words "to be continued" superimposed on the frame at the end. This is the version currently shown on the Turner Classic Movies channel, but it was for press previews only. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayor changed their minds and decided not to continue the series, so the version released to the public simply ended without reference to Andy Hardy becoming a judge.
