The article examines ways in which British citizen's perceptions of the American way of life were influenced by American films during World War II. Particular focus is given to an exploration of how Great Britain's Ministry of Information (MoI) and the U.S. Office of War Information (OWI) made efforts to foster positive Anglo-American relations by emphasizing the typical life of real Americans as seen in the Andy Hardy film series, which includes films such as "A Family Affair," "Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever," and "Life Begins for Andy Hardy." Other topics include the popularity of American actor Mickey Rooney, a description of the plots of the films in the series, and an overview of educational programs for British citizens aimed at downplaying American stereotypes. |
