Mickey Rooney is a cinematic icon whose career lasted from the
silent era into the twenty-first century. From the shorts he made
as Mickey McGuire to supporting roles in such films as Night at the
Museum, Rooney had more than 300 film appearances to his credit.
Mickey Rooney was not just a movie star, he was the most popular
film performer for several years in a row in the 1930s. In addition
to his four Academy Award nominations, Rooney received two special
Oscars, including an honorary award for his variety of memorable
performances spanning several decades. In The Essential Mickey
Rooney, James L. Neibaur examines more than sixty feature films in
which the actor appeared, from starring roles in Boys Town, Babes
in Arms, and The Human Comedy to acclaimed supporting performances
in The Bold and the Brave and The Black Stallion. In addition to
familiar works like the Andy Hardy comedies or musicals opposite
Judy Garland, lesser known films like Quicksand and Drive a Crooked
Road are discussed as examples of the masterful performances he
offered again and again. An actor of rare talent and unrestrained
exuberance, Rooney appeared so often on film that it probably is
impossible to view every performance of his career-one that lasted
longer than any other actor in Hollywood. While minor roles are not
discussed here, all of his vintage works are, making The Essential
Mickey Rooney an indispensable resource for anyone wanting to learn
more about the best work of this film icon.
