Mickey Rooney was slowing down in 1939. After all, he would turn 19 in September. He only made six full-length movies this year, after eight in 1938.

Got to watch much of the Andy Hardy series this last year. I was shocked how serious some of this stuff was, after being told by all the drama snobs how much fluff it all is!

When was the “summer blockbuster” invented? Obviously hadn’t been in 1939.

“Man in the Iron Mask” was just run on Turner. I watched a bit of it. I found it interesting that the first thing the good guy does when he get the power is lower taxes.

LOL: Did you see the J. Edgar Hoover review on Hellz-A-Poppin?

It’s remarkable how normal things seemed as the world approached the abyss.

The Andy Hardy series showcased some of the most talented newcomers and soon to be mega stars. Lana Turner, and Judy Garland being two of them. And even though these movies were made 20 years before I was even born, I had a crush on Ann Rutherford when seeing these old films on Saturday afternoon TV
