LOVE FINDS ANDY HARDY
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
TCM, too, has a holiday film marathon of sorts: an all-night visit with the Andy Hardy movies starring Mickey Rooney as an amorous youngster. It begins with this 1938 movie, which boasts two very noteworthy costars as the other points in Andy’s romantic triangle. One is Judy Garland, the year before she filmed The Wizard of Oz. The other is Lana Turner, eight years before she steamed up the screen in The Postman Always Rings Twice. And Love Finds Andy Hardy isn’t on DVD, so consider it an appropriately timed TCM gift.
