Mickey Rooney Jitterbugs With A Woman Twice His Height

[malachaisaac]

He's sooo cute!!!

[avalanchesuperstar]

After this was done he looked for some mice to scream at.

[67nairb]

Apparently, Andy Hardy's parents were not too happy about their son dancing with a girl twice his height. Why?

[rastajanis]

SENT AN E-MAIL ABOUT THIS VIDEO SO YOU CAN READ IT AND THEE WAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR ME TO RUN MY MOUTH!

[louie950]

Was this a series of somekind? D: I would kill to watch this from the very beginning.

[JessikahAznBabyy]

[breeandpurple2]

Awe I love coffee:)

[rockandroll4evermore]

very funny. Saw it on TCM not long ago.

[liquidpersuasion]

dang he has the best view, her tits are right in front of his face!

[StupidLamb251]

Hahahahaha!! Aw, poor Mickey.

[MissMiffed]

I suppose it doesn't help that she's wearing heels either? Bless him!

[akarpowicz]

The lady has nice gams! How cute! I've never seen this one because I figured the franchise was petering out by this point. I'll watch next time it's on TCM. I love most Andy Hardy movies.

[zeryphex]

It makes me feel bad to see tall women not get a date...because tall women and tall girls are beautiful, too. =)

[RockyBalboa211]

[fordlandau]

God.... they are so good like this ..natural humour and .talent like this has vanished

[OceanicLoveLetters]

Love him... yes a real natural and so handsome... I love the era when the men could dance!

She's a real beauty too.

[spykatt]

Happy 90th Birthday Mickey!

[ilovejudytoo]

He was such a cute kid. lol

[hjb103055]

@ilovejudytoo Mickey Rooney was 26 years old when he made this movie.

[hjb103055]

@ilovejudytoo 3 years before he made this movie he had been married to Ava Gardner for 1 year. Ava was the first of his 8 wives. Ava Gardner was once considered to be one of the most beautiful woman in the world. Type in Movie Legends Ava Gardner.

jitterbugs

[SkaterKitty118]

Judy Garland was 4'11"....and she was a fraction taller than Mickey Rooney!

So "Cleoesa"....You are WRONG!....Mickey wasn't 5'2 nor was he 5'3...!

[rubytuesdaygypsy]

I must say- he does a good job dancing considering the height difference!

[superdavid002]

I sing about Rooney and others in The Celebrity Song.

[Catracks3]

What a genius this man is!

[ClarasBeau]

Hey, harryonlineat, thanks for the big, long laugh!! I'm sorry, but that comment is too funny.

[aaronscrewme]

I wish I had a time machine...

[pool070]

[justonevoice1]

...''Hello Dad''...

[TheTreacle52]

These movies were GREAT! And mickey Rooney? Sooo talented, sooo natural at anything he did. Good on you Mickey! See you in the next lifetime J x

[harryonlineat]

Dwarf hurling...

[LosAngeleno1959]

LOL! That lil gerbil,Mickey Rooney is wearing a suit with white socks!!!

[muellerguy]

This is comedy at it's best. I bought the movie after watching this.

[moonkeeps]

I wonder if they had a coreographer or if they just worked out the routine on their own. Very clever!

[spinkythebuggirl]

@moonkeeps Shorty George Snowden and Big Bea did a similar routine in 1937. Coincidence? Maybe. I don't know when the Mickey Rooney movie came out. Just do a search on "Shorty George and Big Bea" and you'll find it. For some reason youtube won't allow me to post the link to the video.

[moonkeeps]

@spinkythebuggirl Thanks for letting me know. I'll look it up!

[Deborahbrooks2003]

I enjoyed their back-to-back struggle as

they were deciding who was flipping who! :).

It's a move my husband & I do when we do

the jitterbug! OUR height diff. is only an

inch, so we can flip each other over.

Lots of fun! HE is a shortie!

[Cleoelsa]

The tall dancing girl is Dorothy Ford (born 1923 - 24 years old in this old movie). She stands 6ft2 tall! Rooney is only 5ft2 or 5ft3.

[KSFALLGUY]

she looks like she could dunk on shaq! lol would you happen to know what movie of rooney,s has him playing the drums?

[JordannMCx]

Strike Up The Band?

The Strip?

There are quite a few movies where he plays drums but i believe those two are the main ones. :)

[KSFALLGUY]

i found a video of the strip after i posted this, but thanks for the other movie, its just i remembered seeing him on the tonight show with johnny carson and was always blown away when he sat behind the drums, after watching the strip video its very clear this guy could have sat in on most modern rock bands, the man is a killer talent, period!

[tallpaul521]

@Cleoelsa Dorothy is gorgeous in the opening train station scene in "The Thin Man Goes Home".

[Iwanttobeyour666]

This made me laugh :D

Not in a haha shame way, but in a THAT WAS SO AWESOME!! kind of way.

[iumer666]

the best part is when he steps down from stage and hardly reaches her shoulders :)

[khanrasheed]
