Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland
I couldn't remember ever seeing one of these and I was curious. It was as bad as I had feared. Rooney was insufferable. His grinning over-eager mug and hyper-manic behavior made me want to smash him with a tire iron. The other players were fine...including a young Lana Turner near the beginning of her career.
LB Mayer wanted to project an ideal American family in this series (17 in all). It worked in the day but doesn't stand the test of time.
