Love Natalie and adore Steve McQueen whom I still think is and was the best looking actor ever. However, a girl working in Macy's would never have gorgeous clothes like Natalie is wearing unless of course she has the employee's discount and being able to afford an apt. in those days could happen, but taking a taxi? I don't think so. The idea of this movie was daring for the time it was made, but after the beginning of the movie which was tense, it went downhill for me because of the slap stick type of comedy that went on. Edie Adams was fantastic and all those wonderful dogs were the best. Edie is gorgeous. I lived in NYC at the time depicted in this movie and that was real enough, and I lived in a fifth floor walk up, but I still say how could she afford such a great place to live in on a shop girl's salary. McQueen's haircut is so today and so is Natalie's. I miss McQueen and am so sorry he died so young.

Andy Hardy Comes Home
(1958)
Too bad they didn't make this movie in about 1950 or so !
23 November 2007
Mickey Rooney is as cute as ever and smart too. Mickey (Andy) makes a lot of sense in this movie and his mum looks great. It's not as zany as the earlier ones and the plot is really kind of serious and not funny. The boyfriend of this girl looks really nasty and mean and I don't like seeing Andy involved in this scenario at all. I have never seen this last Hardy movie and it's actually playing right now on TCM. I think they played all the Hardy movies from the beginning. I don't see what's wrong with starting an airplane parts factory in the town. It would create jobs for many people. It's my opinion that most people leave small towns because they can't find jobs. I wish they could have gotten Ann Rutherford to play his wife in the movie, not that there's anything wrong with Patricia Breslin, but it would have been much cuter if they saved his marriage for a surprise at the end of the movie and his wife should have been Rutherford.
