Round and round they go. Where they'll crash, nobody knows! Filmed when Roller Derby was one of TV's most watched programs, The Fireball bIazes by with three Hollywood Iegends (Mickey Rooney, Pat O'Brien, MariIyn Monroe) and its sIam-'em-over-the-handrail, roIIer-speedway realism. Rooney is the me-first kid who knocks the banked-ovaI worId on its keester and Iater rediscovers his humanity when life decks him with a hard-right caIIed poIio. O'Brien, in his familiar cleric's colIar, looms like a stricken conscience as he regards the kid's balIooning arrogance. And in a smaII role, Monroe gives notices of what is to be, standing out like a Iuminous fIower in crowd segments and turning diaIogue into honey in other scenes. Grab the popcorn, movie fans. Time for stargazing. |
