Movie came out in 1939, at the height of his career. First film after Boys Town.
Movie was “charming” but a very “disneyfied” version if you know what I mean. Strong messages about how great Lincoln was and how bad slavery was. Not much else from the original story. Fred Murtz played the mute Lord.
A bittersweet memory of the generation of people who raised me, but more sweet than bitter. Only one survives now. Merry Christmas to you and your family Oscar, from your neighbor to the north.
And the same to you and your family.
I’ve got a lot of problems with you people!
An oldie, but goodie 😉

(Watched Mickey Rooney as Huck Finn last night while wrapping presents… in your and the Finnster’s honor)
How old was Mickey when he played the role?
He was probably 18 when he shot the movie.

Thanks. Took me back to the 50s when we had to put nickels into the jutebox to get this great voice.
Merry Christmas, Pops
