even when Rooney was lame he was great - even though his studio days had ended he kept plugging away in the industry, on both television and film

always loved him in the one-hander Twilight Zone episode Last Night Of A Jockey and in Serling’s Playhouse 90 episode The Comedian - brilliant stuff

And his first screen credit was in 1927. And he was still working in 2014, the year of his death. That’s a nearly 90 year career!

Love seeing all the old cars in this movie, and whoever wrote it seemed to know quite a bit about them.

The sexism is typical for its time, I guess, but kinda repugnant.
