The plot revolves around a brother and sister, who are staying with their aunt and uncle. There world is forever changed when a Cambodian boy comes to stay with them until he is able to be placed with a family permanently. The trio quickly become friends and daily they venture off into the woods near their home. One day they meet a crippled man who used to be a railroad engineer. They get this man to help them restore and teach them how to drive an abandon train they discover in the woods. The trio plan to take the train to Cambodia, so Hoang their Cambodian friend can reunite with his mother.

Throughout the film ‘the brother’ character, who’s name is Toby. He often day dreams and these are some of the most entertaining moments in the film. He becomes a racer driver, a performer in the circus and a super hero in space. This film’s stand out performance comes from Mickey Rooney (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), who is cast in the role of a retired railroad engineer who is crippled. There is a child like quality that he brings to the character that makes the character all the more endearing. Ultimately Treasure Train is easily Fernando Arrabal’s gentlest film. In fact it is a film that is heavily geared towards children and the young at heart.

Yet, threatened by gangsters for welshing on a gambling debt, Mountain’s opportunistic manager, Maish Rennick (Jackie Gleason), schemes to get the ex-boxer into a phony wrestling match to make some quick money. Although he and his loyal trainer, Army (Mickey Rooney), oppose the degrading proposition, the disillusioned Mountain begins to wonder if he has any options left.

Sammy Hogarth, a vaudeville comedian who now has his own TV show, is a ruthless egomaniac who demands instant obedience from his staff and heaps abuse on those in lesser positions than his. His most vituperative behavior, however, is reserved for his weak-willed brother, Lester, whom Sammy has hired as his assistant but whom he really uses as his whipping boy.

The post Mickey Rooney – My True Story (1951) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
Mickey Moran (Mickey Rooney) and Patsy Barton (Judy Garland), the children of vaudeville performers, spring into action when their homes and their lives are put in danger. Vaudeville is dead, and the group of performers, led by Mickey’s parents, Joe and Florrie Moran (Charles Winninger and Grace Hayes) who have made comfortable homes on Long Island, now must go back on tour in the sticks to try and scrounge up some money. Naturally, the kids of show biz performers want to help, but they’re shot down by their rigid parents who don’t see any need in updating their tired old acts.

Mickey and Patsy decide to put on their own barn show, in the hopes of attracting a Broadway producer. However, they face opposition from Martha Steele (Margaret Hamilton), the town’s welfare officer, who wants to put all of the children in a state workhouse since they’re living unsupervised at home. As well, the kids learn that all of their homes have been mortgaged, and that they stand to lose everything if they can’t come up with the dough to buy them out. On the romantic homefront, Mickey and Patsy, tentatively falling in love, hit an obstacle in the form of ex-child star Rosalie Essex (June Preisser), who wants to be in their play. Mickey isn’t dumb, and knows that Essex’s name on the marquee will attract attention, so he asks Patsy to step down from the lead role. Will the kids make it on Broadway, and will they save their parents’ homes from foreclosure?

For a film that many critics label as outright fantasy (and to be sure, much of it is), there’s a surprising amount of gritty reality lurking beneath the surface of Babes in Arms. An undertone of failure marks Babes in Arms, with the parents unable to revive the moribund vaudeville, while the financial threat of foreclosed houses and mandatory work house assignments conjures up the all-too real situations of no doubt many audience members at the time. The scenes where Mickey agonizes over his parents’ financial situation still hold weight today, although you never seem to see kids in films today worry about money. And in keeping with the great American screen tradition of having the male lead be a heel so he can reform at the last moment, Mickey’s totally self-serving use of Rosalie and her money to keep the show afloat adds a sour note to his romance with the sweet, loving, patient Patsy.

Of course, all of this is washed away by M-G-M, who has the kids making it to Broadway all too easily via producer Maddox (Henry Hull), who drops back into the picture in the best Hollywood deus ex machina manner, offering not only Mickey’s big break, but also salvation for his father, Joe, in the form of coaching the kids for their big production number. But why they would need a coach is anybody’s guess, when their first big production, put on at the local barn, is executed in the glossiest M-G-M fashion. Modern audiences will have a problem with this minstrel number, but it’s important to view it and understand it in the context of the times.

As for the music, some critics disliked the elimination of all but two of the songs from the original Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart Broadway production…. But Mickey and Judy get a nicely focused duet for “Good Morning,” with the grand finale, “God’s Country” (Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg) more than compensating, sending out the happy patrons humming.

Plot Synopsis:
A late ’50s upgrade of the 1931 film by the same title, this version of trouble on death row by Howard Koch is more violent than its predecessor — a hint of the trend toward shock for its own sake that would one day dominate action films and thrillers. The setting is a cell block of nine inmates scheduled for execution and the first half of the drama focuses on the horror of that last walk. A grim death in the electric chair is in no way glossed over. All nine prisoners are more appealing than any single guard, giving rise to the question of whether or not the men should exchange places. Then “Killer” John Mears (Mickey Rooney) comes along. His vicious attitude infects the environment and his plans to break out of prison are the catalyst for tragedy. by Eleanor Mannikka

The post Howard W. Koch – The Last Mile (1959) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Music Box Theatre writes:
Before becoming famous for creating PETER GUNN and the PINK PANTHER movies, Blake Edwards scripted this extraordinary, if virtually unknown, ’50s film noir, which casts a fully-grown Mickey Rooney against type as a lovelorn mechanic whose craving for fast cars and a faster woman (the alluring Dianne Foster) drives him to sign on as wheelman in a bank robbery. In what may be his finest performance, Rooney delivers a compelling characterization of the “Little Freak,” whose desire for a duplicitous woman leads to an unforgettable conclusion. One of finest noir films of the fifties.
