A NOIR KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON
A couple "rare" Mickey Rooney noirs show up on Turner Classics on Tuesday, August 13, 2013. "The Strip" and "Quicksand". 
Rooney was trying to change his boy-next-door-image. Does a pretty good job of that.
The movies are decent, low budget B noirs. “Quicksand” has the added advantage of Peter Lorre and Jimmy Dodd, the chief Mousketeer.
"The Strip" also features the Louis Armstrong classic song, "A Kiss to Build a Dream On."
Good L.A. locations in both.
