- George "Babyface" Nelson becomes one of the most important gangsters of 1920s Chicago by making brutal robberies. In order to compete with Al Capone he allies himself with John Dillinger
I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Mickey Rooney back in 1976 at the Downingtown Inn outside Phila. Was lucky enough to have him treat me to lunch because I did some work for him at his cottage on the golf course. He performed at the dinner theater there and if I remember correctly had a part interest in the resort. Great guy, polite and really down to earth.
Mickey Rooney was a genius. His talents were effusive. He could pickup any instrument and play it in 30mins like a virtuoso. I'm still trying to find a clip where he plays the banjo and a couple of other instruments as if they were his lifelong attention. His talents were under-rated and under appreciated. But where there is great talent there are also great flaws.

I heard that he also had a talent for slapping Ava Gardner around!
gotta love these old time gangster movies, perfect for a friday night
I expected Edward G Robinson, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Dan Duryea, Jack Palance to play this role, but Mickey Rooney did a great part - surprised!
Why are u surprised none of those actors u listed had a babyface duh? Also Mickey is one of the all time greats of course he pulled it off
Bogey passed away in '57 , but Cagney would've been a good choice
Mickey Rooney .A true star.
Great actor. He had a photographic memory. He not only new his lines but everyone else's. Micky and Carolyn seemed to have a genuine rapport with one another in this flick.
*knew
Baby face Nelson was 5'4" 135lbs, Mickey was 5'2" so this is a good match up.
Yesssssss is is
@matrox.
That's a big penis!
I remember seeing this movie as a teenager back in the 1970's on TV--I thought Rooney was quite good in this dramatic role--This guy actually did 340 different roles in movies and TV--R.I.P.
damn you are old
@@garywilliams6124 Damn, you're a little person and a moron!
Did you watch this on a UHF Channel in the 1970s?
@@warmflash I wouldn't expect a reply that was 8 years ago that make him like 80 or 90 something ,and yes all we had was Airwaves no cable no 8-track just AM radio for the most of us
@@richardmartin2646 his probably in his middle to late 70s , probably has a different phone or internet
My stepmother saw Baby face Nelson at a fair back in the 30's. I asked her what he looked like and she said " like everyone else".
Lol
didn't explain much. she was supposed to say "like a baby!"
Yea ? You better watch it see.
😆 😆 🤣
Uncle Bob you don't get it do you..that is so obvious, like everyone else is actually very droll.
Character actors like Ted de Corsia, Leo Gordon, Anthony Caruso & Jack Elam were always quite good when it comes to crime drama films.
they were also good on The Rifleman
Great character actors help film. Hardwicke, Elam, Gordon, Caruso, DeCorsia etc. Siegel's direction as always is right on.
Excellent Film. I saw the movie when it first came out in 1958. I always liked Mickey Rooney's Acting. This film has a great Cast, Story, Director and a plus of a great Van Alexander jazz music score. Thanks for the excellent upload. Out.
Mickey Rooney was one damn fine actor. Thanks for the upload.
I hope you don't mean "fine" like in looks lol.
Really good Gangster Movie with plenty of well known character actors and lots of Thompson machine guns. Mickey Rooney and Carolyn Jones are so good.
Mickey Rooney was a talented actor, especially in song and dance. So funny in it's a mad,mad, mad, world.
His did waaay more than song and dance
Love this movie ,Mikey could play anything!
Wow what a story actors were incredible the mood was such that you feel as though you were there what a high standard of story line you would hard pressed to equal this in any time period thankyou so much for this Gem of a Movie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Carolyn Jones and Mickey Rooney!!!what a jem!!!! thank you!!
True ! I can't wait for the upcoming remake with Linda Hunt & Danny DeVito !
Baby-Face Mickey, One of the greatest. As for the movie, most of the facts were wrong, but it was still a good movie. Thank you, 'ghostrepublic' for posting.

Mickey Rooney is my all time favorite actor. Animated yet believable. He was good in everything.
Of course when youconsideer my all time favorite actress was Margaret Hamilton, you may want to question me. : ) But she always played in movies you just loved her animated ways too.
I just wanted to watch because I 've been thinking Rooney would be perfect as Nelson since ever I can remember, then I discovered the movie is signed Don Siegel. That signature is like a quality brand logo on something you buy because you know is better than others in the category.Thanks for posting, a pity for the video quality
I know what you mean about the video quality. During the first eighteen minutes of the film, there were points where it pixilated, and a few times when it just stopped altogether.
The sound quality wasn't too good either. The volume was so low, I could hardly hear the dialogue. I tried listening to it with earbuds, but the sound was still pretty low.
They did a lousy job of downloading this movie on TH-cam.
Hey thank you very much for putting her collection of these old gangster movies together. I appreciate it and we'll enjoy watching every one of them thank you don't forget the popcorn. ✌️✌️✌️👁️👁️
Somewhere in my early years,I saw this movle.Where,I don't remember.I remember talking to a gal I knew who was a big movie fan like me and I remember telling her about seeing a movie in my early childhood but not remembering the name of it.Elisha Cook,Jr. was in it and in later years became one of my favourite character actors.I remember seeing him in the late '60s in an episde of "Star Trek" where he played an attorney representing Captain KIrk.His best role was as a drummer in a 1944 movie called "Phantom Lady".He is seen taking an extended drum solo.The drumming was done by Buddy RIch.All I remember Carolyn Jones for was her role as "Morticia" in The Addams Family.
Dan VanLandingham. Mickey Rooney was on Star Trek the original the original one with James T Kirk and Spock? Mickey Rooney played a a lawyer? Who was Mickey Rooney representative?
The other film with Elisa Cook, Jr, that you're thinking of may have been "The Maltese Falcon" (1941), with Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre. Cook played Wilmer, the henchman of Casper "Fat Man" Gutman, Greenstreet's character.
What did you do to this films audio. We can't hear anything except the music and thats hard to hear. Don't you test ever thing before you send it out to share?
"It's getting dark, Helen. I can't see you anymore." Baby Face Nelson last words as he laid dying. Time was 7:35 p.m. And He died at 1627 Walnut St., Niles Center, but his body was left at St. Paul's Cemetery.
I like when they squeal those 1930's tires !!.
@@johnbockelie3899 on dirt roads lol
Even though I think of Mickey Rooney as a comic actor, I feel this role as Babyface Nelson was made for him. He performed it well.
That was a very exciting story the cast was excellent SH and FS always leading characters thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good olde tyme vintage gangster movie with a fine supporting cast. I think I actually saw this at the movies back in the day, but can't remember because my old man was such a fan of the genre he took me to see so many. Thanks for sharing...
I too haven't seen this movie since the 60's. I was told on the TCM web site that they didn't have this movie in their vault since they only had movies from certain studios. I too also noticed that some scenes were cut, wonder why as this stuff isn't as bad as what's shown today. Mickey Rooney was very talented as another commenter said cause he could sing, dance and act as well anyone in his time, including James Cagney. Just my opinion, haters keep your silly comments to yourself.
Rooney did a great job of acting in a twilight zone episode, but this movie is a bomb.
he married the best looking woman frank sinatra married his ex wife
The Narrator at the beginning of the film sounded like Walter Cronkite!
I was about 5 or 6 when I saw this when it first came out. Been looking for it for years and I'm amazed to find it right here on TH-cam now. I agree FanTastic!! And No it wasn't MR as cousin it. lol
Terrific ! I love this movie !
"Tish! You spoke French!" Carolyn Jones .
Call Batman,!!, it's Marsha, Queen of Diamonds!!!. Carolyn Jones.
Ha ! I kept waiting for Mickey to start kissing her arm.... :-)
This movie is considered a cinema classic in France. It's one of the film noirs which influenced the French New Wave directors of the 1960s.
It goes to show that the French cinema experts don't get out much.
One of the first time a toilet was shown on the big screen before Hitchcock pyscho
TURN UP THE VOLUME!
interesting take on it... the real Baby Face was a freaking sick maniac.
As at the oligarchs who seek complete control over all of humanity.
And his table manners were also known to be atrocious. He'd eat peas with a knife. And once he was spied drinking out of the finger bowl !
So I've heard. While most of the big gangsters of his day only used their guns when they were trapped by the law, and could see no way out, Nelson was quick to start shooting, because he LOVED violence, a fact that shocked even other hoodlums, including his buddy, John Dillinger.
Nelson's addiction to killing was best exemplified by his maniacal opinion on how a bank robbery should be committed. His method, which he laid out to Dillinger and his gang, was to race into a bank, shoot everyone in sight, force those left standing to hand over the money, and then, drive out of town with his gun blazing. When Homer Van Meter, a member of the Dillinger mob, who believed in more reasonable ways of robbing banks, scoffed at Nelson's ideas, "Baby Face" was so insulted, that he was on the verge of shooting Van Meter, but Dillinger talked him out of it.
With Nelson as an accomplice, the robberies committed by the Dillinger gang became more violent and bloody. During one heist, someone set off the alarm bell, and Nelson just went berserk, screaming "I'm going to kill the bastard who set off that alarm!" He was distracted, however, when he saw a policeman looking through the bank window, so he shot him instead! "I got one of them!" he yelled with glee.
Doesn't anyone have an un-cut copy???? I have looked all over and a few years ago almost all the shooting was deleted; now I see some of the footage is on this (like the 3 armored guards being shot by Nelson) but you can clearly see in this scene some footage has been cut. Also, the shooting of the mailman is completely deleted. Jeez what gives?????
Thank you for the movies 😊
I wish the volume was louder in this movie.I can barely hear it
True that. Why don't they load them with the volume up a bit more.
WHEREISTHEREASON because of copyright.
Brock Albert / there should be copy wrights on dum Ass answers .
There's a copyright detection line of information mixed along with the real sounds now on the digital copies and even if you record it with a microphone (that same sound) as long as it contains that little string of information in it the TH-cam filters will be able to pick it up at one point or the other along the full sound file. That's why people keep distorting them and splitting them in pieces and distorting them badly so that line to get messed up enough for TH-cam's filters not to be able to pick it up for long enough to consider it as a tagged copy. (a copy tagged with that string of info)
Just in case you might not have heard this much about it.
I did heard about it, thank you. Yours sincerely :D let's see the movie now, shall we?
to golfmeiester. The car is a Rolls Royce made in England where they drive on the other side of the road. Back then I doubt whether RR would bother to make a car with the wheel on the left side.
yeah, I thought it was a RR...used to see cars a lot just like that one drawn in cartoons like in the New Yorker.
Mickey Rooney is what you call man of the forties
Good one,,,, never saw it before,,,,,, thanks.... Mickey and a cast of thousands... Seems only Robert Stack was missing.....
Robert Stack was Elliot Ness, The untouchables.
Yes he was a great one!
When the guy grabbed Mickey by lapels and picked him up off bed effortlessly the balance of the movie just seemed comical for Mickey being a tough guy.
Ya the volume .... Can't hear this .. Why watch it .. What do you people think when you put these movies out hear. ? People can turn the volume down , can't turn it up though.
I can hear it just fine.maby its you
But honestly i can hear it just fine
At least in this version, Mickey Rooney looks like Lester Gillis, unlike the actor chosen to portray him in the 1996 remake who had a very thin face with no baby fat. But the real demise of Baby Face in a shootout with top FBI agents near Barrington, IL was in fact much more dramatic than the deaths portrayed in this version and the 1996 version.
Carolyn was so fckin beautiful and talented
time
I have a notion to second that emotion ! So adorable !
My Father was interviewed by Micky Rooney to be his cook, back in those days.
Did he get the job ? I'm curious as to what Mickey's diet was.....
I herd he enjoyed steak and eggs, an fried chicken
Morticia, Zorro & Frollo, who knows what am talking about ?
In the description you said George Baby Face Nelson, but it's Lester Baby Face Nelson n George Machine Gun Kelly( a gentle reminder) Mickey Rooney is a great gangster!!! He's so versatile too, n good whatever he does,!!! Great gangster movie!!!
THIS WAS A CLASSIC MICKY DIDI GOOD,LOL
"Naa, see?! You'll neva' cach me alive, coppers!"
Thank You for a great movie
Amazing movie Ghost. Thank You.
Volume's WAY too low.
Great movie.. Great cast
always liked this movie loved Caroline Jone a.k.a. Mortica Adams
Indubitably ! Carolyn Jones was one lovely lady and one talented actress !
Holy cow is that really Morticia ?
A great movie
Was this filmed on a pinhole camera? Damn, most films from the old days look better than this! The dialog is WAY to quiet.
Carolyn Jones played in a few of Don Siegel's films.
THE MICK IS TIMELESS
I would have loved to watch this but the volume is awfully low, thank you.
Nelson was only 25 years old in 1933.
Mickey Rooney, the Big Dog.
Miss Carolyn Jones.....
Yada di da - Yada di da. " snap snap " Yada di da - Yada di da - Yada di da " Snap Snap You Rang ??? " .
They used to know how to handle pigs in the 30s damn shame.
Awesome!!
Cool Chicago crime-noir of the '50's with Mickey, who was born to the cinema biz. If he stopped moving long enough in this flick, the broad-shoulder mugs might of set a bottle of beer on his skimmer. Baby Face was quite a psychopathic 'typist' back in the day though.
Good film, very well acted !
If you read Wikipedia, almost every incident in the film is not faithful to the actual facts, from start to finish. Still, they give you the flavor.
Revolver with a SUPRESSOR (not silencer). Wrong X2...gap at cylinder and barrel.
#2,..only really suppresses SUB sonic cartridges.
As entertainment, this movie is good. As historical fact, it's pure, unadulterated bullshit.
Gangsters have since evolved
So true
@White Wrath Clintons, Obamas, Trumps, McCains, Romneys, Giulianis, Bushes, Reagans, should I go on or are you deaf dumb and blind and need more clarification?
True. Now they mostly do their business in Washington DC.
Why don't some of you people stop moaning and just watch and enjoy the film have you heard yourselves ffs
thank u
don't take yourself so seriously Darren G
Why don't you stop moaning about people moaning and just enjoy the comments? Have you heard yourself ffs?
Metamoaning.
I much prefer people moaning about people moaning about people moaning. It has just the right consistency. Anything after that, and Zeno's name is invariably invoked.
Wheres the Volume, I cant hear it.
some of thos eold panel vans would make gorgeous hot rods!
did and do.
mickeys great
How the hell did those cars not tip over during a chase . Modern suv will tip over.
I Knew Mickey Reminded me Of someone..... Or Visa Versa...... Mark Walberg.... 🤑
Mickley boy is about as scary as a jelly baby.
I see Rev. Alden from Little house on the prairie made into this movie.
Veteran character actor Dabs Greer !!
Why is tge steering wheel on the wrong side in the opening scene?
Picture and sound break up at times but thanks for upload.
Thanks
Too low( audio ).
GREAT ACTORS
Mickey Rooney, was abused as an elder.. before he died 😢
Needs a man to man talk with judge Hardy
Bad picture, low volume
is this film flipped? why is the steering wheel on the wrong side? 2:48
Interesting end
NOME EXPLICO COMO PUEDEN PROYECTAR UNA PELICULA SIN AUDIO, ESO ES UN FRAUDE.
this movie is so inaccurate i take back what i said its barely accurate at all, but a good story
is that the lady from the adams family?
+mel baez which one, the one in your avatar?
+mel baez calm down, just teasing: yes she is Miss Carolyn Jones aka Morticia Addams
+WILDKOALA10 funny
and elvis girl in king creole
mel bias. Your 100 % right it looks a lot like her! I wonder if that is the same woman? ?
do you think Mickey Rooney could hit hard enough, even on the back of the head/neck, to knock that big cop out?
Good thing I downloaded this. One of my favorites of all time. The era also produced Young Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Corman's Machine Gun Kelly, Ma Barker's Killer Brood (1960), The Bonnie Parker Story, The Rise and Fall of Leg's Diamond, I remember this watching on the late late show in the 1970's. When The Addams Family went into TV syndication and Carolyn Jones' movies starting cropping up along side King Creole with Elvis.
Mickey Rooney great actor RIP
Here's to 'The Mick'. He was a professional in every sense of the word and continued to do so throughout his life. Well done, Sir!
He was a creepy little groper who got away with it.
Killed that same year were :
May 1934 Bonnie and Clyde.
1934 John Dillinger.
1934 Pretty Boyd Flyod.
1934 Baby Face Nellson.
Worse than Gangsters they were Murderer Gangsters. There was but one sentence permitted by a USA court.
@annamal pete Not big Al....chuckle
And Lollipop Lenny 🥳🥳🍭🍭🎃
To paraphrase the kid from "JoJo Rabbit" It's not a good time to be a gangster'
Not a good year for gangsters.
Any movie directed by Don Siegel is top notch viewing with me .... that and this elite cast of character actors , make this an enjoyable and entertaining flick 👌🏻
This is 1957, lots of those 1920s and 30s cars were still plentiful to make this movie.
love those old sedans 👍
