Movie review - "Rooney" (1958) **1/2

 Interesting film. Slice of life warm stuff about John Gregson a dustman and hurley player whose landladies want to root him. He moves to a house and falls for Muriel Pavlow.

Quiet, senstivie a little wonky. The novel was set in Newcastle but they set it in Ireland. 

John Gregson is very affable. I liked Pavlow in this. Barry Fitzergerald is in it.

This isn't bad. Better than Jacqueline.
