- ConnectionsReferenced in Crawlspace (1986)
Mickey Rooney is always trying to find ways to get rich quick. Despite various failures, he never gives up. At some point he goes a little too far with his schemes and gets into trouble.
Mickey Rooney's character is interested in Elaine Stewart (as would any normal male be) and the comedy continues.
Part of the plot centers around gasoline pricing wars. Something that I experienced personally in the early 1970s. There's some very interesting scenes featuring Elaine Stewart on the beach in her bathing suit. The DVD that I got from Warner Brothers allowed me to rewatch that scene about 10 times.
This is a light movie with good entertainment and excellent. I candy for the men.
