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.
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.
Great movie Thanks for posting Mickey Rooney was an extremely talented actor He did comedy and drama He did a lot of work in early television 📺 His talent is sorely missed
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!
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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 a wonderful old movie and Mickey Rooney is a wonderful actor…… he always played these awesome characters……. I just love him….. very special man, loads of talent……. was a life long friend with Judy Garland
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.
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.
@@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
When asked whom they thought was the greatest entertainer in Hollywood history, more of the great Hollywood stars named Mickey Rooney than any other person. The reason they all gave was that he could not only do everything, he could do everything well . . . singing, dancing, comedy, romance, drama, whatever. This movie was not his best. But Mickey is still one of the greats anyway.
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.
Don Siegel! Been looking for this movie for 20 years. I read about it in an Entertainment Weekly article on forgotten/orphaned films that never received a home video release. That was in 1997 or 98. Thanks, TH-cam!
Great movie ! Mickey Rooney was born to play Baby Face Nelson, when I think of Mickey Rooney I think of Baby Face Nelson. Almost makes me forget about "Boys Town" (1938).... but not quite. 1957 was the year Humphrey Bogart died & had he lived he would've returned to gangster roles...but who knows.
"Quicksand"? ok, looked it up. Don't know if I've seen it before, I'll have to watch it and figure that out. It also stars Jeanne Cagney, James Cagney's sister.
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?
I did not realize we had mountains here in Illinois. If I did not know better I would almost think this Movie was filmed in Hollywood but I prefer to think the film makers would not insult our intelligence like that.
Wow! I have not seen this film since the sixties, It was good seeing it again. Although I always had a hard time accepting Mickey Rooney as a bad guy, I guess I always think of him as a comic actor in comedies.
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. ✌️✌️✌️👁️👁️
Leo Gordon (Dillinger) served time in San Quentin for armed robbery before becoming an actor, so he had real life experience prior to playing his role in this movie.
He also played the convict Mike Carney in the 1954 movie Riot in Cell Block 11. The director of the movie was afraid of him and the guards at the prison patted Gordon down for weapons every day.
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. SuperSniperSal USMC Disabled Vet
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.
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.
I actually sat next to Mickey at the TCM classic film festival in 2012. I wanted to ask him about this film, since it was sort of "out of character" considering most of the roles he played. I didn't think of it at the time - I could kick myself for the omission.
It's occurred to me over the years, that Mickey Rooney made it his life's ambition to distance himself from all of the "Andy Hardy" and "Judy Garland" films he made when he was much younger. In the 50s and 60s etc. he seemed to always be playing the proverbial "tough guy" , all 5 ft. of him. He in my opinion , seemed to be obsessed with putting as much distance as possible from his early films. Tremendous difference between his early and later films........
...he got older so it makes since he would choose different roles that would reflect his age he couldnt keep on playing the kid role of a Andy Hardy....
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.
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.
Absolutely, I was so pleased with all the positive comments, I didn't want to mention that of his ungrateful children. Truly sad though about them, but, nevertheless we will always respect and love Mickey Rooney 😢❤😂❤😊
"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.
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...
John Hoyt and Jack Elam @1:04:20 both starred in a classic Twilight Zone, "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up ?" I thought this Mickey Rooney flick vanished forever. I last saw it on tv in the early to mid 60s. Morticia's lookin good in her pre-Adams Family days.
Great film. But if this is factual Nelson died and body dumped along side a road in Barrington, Illinois and last I checked we (Illinois) had no mountains..
Great cast, great B movie. But, this copy is very frustrating. It skips a few parts for some unknown reason. The shooting of the armored car guards is clearly cut as is the shooting of the mailman. Why this should be I don't know. Anyone know where we can see a complete, uncut copy?????
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.
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.
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!!!
Thought he would live forever. Now he carries through in or on the 'Silver Screen' for another 100 years hopefully we all do in some form or other . 'Hey Mulligan' R.I.P. !
Wow...what a genius an obvious conclusion you came up with stating it was a right hand Rolls...that we can all see...the ? is why.. when the movie was made in the U.S...wasnt there any left hand Rolls made at the time in America
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.
The real "Baby Face" Nelson never worked for the Mafia, although he was, for a short time, an enforcer for Al Capone (who was never considered a Mafia member), who hired him to shake down labor union bosses for "kickbacks" to the Capone mob, but he was soon dropped from their ranks, because all too often, Nelson killed when he should have injured. (It was all the same to him.)
Baby Zface Nelson robbed a bank in the town i live in. Theres still bullet holes onthe top of the building. Its now a freakin pawn shop! It was one of his biggest hiests of his career.
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.
Gillis (or "Nelson ") had two kids. And he seemed to be more visible than the others he did dirt track racing while still a bank robber, owned a race car, etc. His son turned out to be the Chief Foreman of the water works in Cook County, Chicago.
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.
gotta love these old time gangster movies, perfect for a friday night

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
This is 1957, lots of those 1920s and 30s cars were still plentiful to make this movie.
love those old sedans 👍

Mickey Rooney was perfect casting.

Thanks...gonna check it out

Yep, a great movie.
Yes...."Quicksand" is a very good low budget noir ! Not only Mickey, but that one also stars the late great Peter Lorre in another sinister role.

True ! I can't wait for the upcoming remake with Linda Hunt & Danny DeVito !
I have very good hearing but even using head sets . . flimsy audio. What a shame.
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
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.

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.

"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.... :-)
The first scene where the older man hands Mickey a Revolver - Who the fuck puts a silencer on a revolver ?? LMAO
Would you mind lowering the volume just a bit. I could almost hear parts of the movie.
The reason the wheel is on the wrong side is because it was a right hand drive Rolls Royce
Wow...what a genius an obvious conclusion you came up with stating it was a right hand Rolls...that we can all see...the ? is why.. when the movie was made in the U.S...wasnt there any left hand Rolls made at the time in America
It would be nice if there were captions. The volume is way too low. Very good picture... 👍👍.
That was a very exciting story the cast was excellent SH and FS always leading characters thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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
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.
Clark gable said Rooney was the best actor in Hollywood. Got his autograph at a memorabilia show in n Hollywood in the 90s. He was tiny
mickey rooney plays a crazy mafia killer i havn't seen this movie in along time.
The real "Baby Face" Nelson never worked for the Mafia, although he was, for a short time, an enforcer for Al Capone (who was never considered a Mafia member), who hired him to shake down labor union bosses for "kickbacks" to the Capone mob, but he was soon dropped from their ranks, because all too often, Nelson killed when he should have injured. (It was all the same to him.)
Baby Zface Nelson robbed a bank in the town i live in. Theres still bullet holes onthe top of the building. Its now a freakin pawn shop! It was one of his biggest hiests of his career.
*heists
What did he say? Turn up the volume. It is up!
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.
Gillis (or "Nelson ") had two kids. And he seemed to be more visible than the others he did dirt track racing while still a bank robber, owned a race car, etc. His son turned out to be the Chief Foreman of the water works in Cook County, Chicago.
