The Twinkle in God's Eye

In this personally produced project, Mickey Rooney plays a former wild boy who turns over a new leaf to become a parson and brings religion to a frontier mining town. Rooney was so keen on the project he also wrote the title song (but refrains from singing it). In actual fact, Rooney's self-assurance suits the part and he converts the toughest of hombres as well as the dancing girls in the saloon. Coleen Gray co-stars as one of the floozies with Hugh O'Brian as the gambling hall proprietor.
