| | Redroc 01/10/2011 | | This movie is the first movie in which Mickey Rooney gets top billing. He plays the son of a World War I hero (Edward Pawley), and it was the only known movie in which the two performed together. Also, it was the only movie in which the only son (Martin Pawley) of actor Edward Pawley performed. He played one of the classmates of Shockey Carter (Mickey Rooney). Shockey fiercely defends his alcoholic dad and gets into various scrapes with his teacher and classmates. His tough-guy attitude is turned around by a new teacher (Anne Nagel), but his father never lives to see the results of his transformation. A very good movie for fans of old films. It was one of only two movies (out of more than 50) in which Edward Pawley did not play the bad-guy role. |
