You can never go home....
Andy Hardy has grown up and become a lawyer. He also works for an aircraft manufacturer in California. When he returns to Carver to buy land so that a new manufacturing plant can be opened there, he meets unexpected problems. The man who agreed to sell his property now wants to double his price and when Hardy won't agree to this last minute change, the nasty guy starts a campaign to stop the plant entirely. Andy is shocked, as he sees the nice folks of Carver acting like a bunch of jerks. Is there any hope for the plant? And, what about Andy and his family...will they stay in California or will they move back to Carver?Twelve years passed since the last Andy Hardy film. Now, in 1958, someone had the bright idea of reviving the series...which is tough for a variety of reasons. The biggest is that many of the old actors had died or did not participate in the production. But another problem is that the movie tried too hard to keep Andy young....and those moments are a bit difficult to watch (such as Andy showing the teens how to dance and every time Andy reminisces he gets a real dopey look on his face as they show old clips). Watchable? Yes. But you can see how folks at the time didn't welcome the picture, as you just can't come home.
