Carvel?

James tells Tripp in the novel that his hometown is Carvel--pronounced, I assume, the way Mickey Rooney and the rest of the Hardys pronounced it in all those movies, i.e. "CAR-vul". When the subject comes up in the movie, the town is pronounced "car-VELL". Didn't anyone pick up on the Andy Hardy reference, knowing that James is the ultimate master of movie trivia? Or didn't the screenwriter or director remember the franchise that made MGM so much money in the '30's and '40's? I love both the novel and the movie, but it's always puzzled me that this particular old-movie reference seems to have gone right over the heads of everybody involved (I'm sure Michael Chabon put it in to refer to the Andy Hardy movies, though he never spells it out in the book).
