I must admit to being a Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney fan and also Carl Reiner fan before this comment. Nevertheless you're not going to find more people in Hollywood who are more genuine and professional than these three. Find this movie and watch it. It's as current today than the day it was shot. Rooney plays a sidekick who I find is true blue to his friend, "The Comic". He plays an old agent that sticks with his client through retirement. Its one of his finest works, and Van Dyke plays his role as an old washed up theatrical comic very well. Its humorous as well as melancholy. The first time I saw it on TV was in 1971 when I was 11 and it plays the same as if I were to watch it today.
