A Family Affair (1937), with Lionel Barrymore as Judge Hardy and Mickey Rooney as his son Andy, was the first film in which Andy Hardy appeared.
The Andy Hardy series began officially, however, with You’re Only Young Once (1938), with Lewis Stone as Judge James Hardy.
George B. Seitz directed most of the Andy Hardy films, including Andy Hardy Meets Debutante (1940), Andy Hardy’s Private Secretary (1941), Andy Hardy’s Double Life (1942), and Andy Hardy’s Blonde Trouble (1944).
The last film was Andy Hardy Comes Home (1958).
