Trivia
:
The ninth of sixteen Andy Hardy films starring Mickey Rooney, the second pairing of Mickey with Judy Garland.
The picture on "last year's" high school magazine that is shown is that of Lana Turner, who was in the Hardy Family series movie, Love Finds Andy Hardy (1938). The character she played, Cynthia Potter, is also mentioned.
Judy filmed her scenes between February and April, 1940, while also filming Strike Up the Band.
"Bud's Won't Bud" (music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg), sung by Judy Garland, was prerecorded, possibly filmed but not used in the release print. For years, only a partial prerecording was thought to remain until the full recording was discovered and released in 2006 on Rhino's "That's Entertainment", CD box set. The tune, intended for 'Hannah Williams (I)' to sing in the 1937 Broadway musical "Hooray for What!" had been dropped out of town. Finally, in the Jeanette MacDonald vehicle Cairo (1942), "Buds Won't Bud" was presented on-screen, sung by Ethel Waters.
According to MGM records the film earned USD ,945,000 in the US and Canada and 8,000 elsewhere resulting in a profit of ,409,000.

More Info on Lewis Stone
:
Lewis Stone was born in 1879, and he was one of those actors who looked "old" even when he was in his thirties, and he continued acting until his late sixties, making over 200 movies, including many silents. He seemed destined to be a second tier actor, never quite being a major star, but in 1937 his studio, MGM, made a movie centered around a kindly judge and his family in a small town, You're Only Young Once, and Stone had the lead role as Judge James K. Hardy. But while the movie proved very successful, and spawned a slew of sequels, it was the judge's teen son,
Andy Hardy
, played by Mickey Rooney, who proved most popular, even though he was a pretty minor character in that first movie (note that MGM did not even picture him on the original poster!). The focus of the series quickly spread to that character, although Lewis Stone would remain in to the series, proving to be America's most quintessential "father figure" (at least until Robert Young came along in radio and TV's "Father Knows Best"). Some of his other movies include: The Patriot (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina,
Grand Hotel
, Scaramouche, Lost World, and
Prisoner of Zenda
. Stone passed away in 1953 at the age of 73.
