The Courtship of Andy Hardy (1942)

Harvey Stephens: Roderick O. Nesbit

Quotes 

• Judge Hardy : The ugliness of her surroundings have filled her with bitterness and resentfulness and destroyed all her illusions. I wonder if either of you realize the large percentage of criminal and delinquent girls that come from broken families. Is, uh, your daughter in any way the cause of this marriage breaking up?

  Roderick O. Nesbit : Well, no, of course not.

  Olivia Nesbit : No, no, of course not.

  Judge Hardy : Then why do you punish her? You cheat your child of her God-given right to a happy home, and the love and guidance of a father and mother.
