    Watchable for Mickey Rooney fans
    I'm not a big fan of most of Mickey Rooney's 1950s work. I love young Mickey and even old Mickey but middle-aged Mickey rarely does it for me. This is one of the better vehicles for him from this period. Considering it's not a particularly special picture that says a lot. It's predictable and uninteresting and feels in many ways like a TV pilot. But Rooney's screen presence is pleasant and that kept me watching until the end. It's the kind of movie that's perfect to have on in the background. No matter how much of it you miss you'll have no trouble following the plot.
