The Atomic Kid

Prospector Mickey Rooney is caught in an A-bomb test in the Nevada desert, but emerges intact (as does his peanut butter and sardine sandwich) with a phosphorescent glow, the power to affect slot machines, and enemy spies after the secret to his survival. Based on a story by Blake Edwards, this Cold War comedy also stars Robert Strauss, Whit Bissell, and Rooney's then-wife Elaine Davis. 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
