This looks pretty great but i guess it has to be somewhere a clip in a better quality..

Oddly, this is one of the very few crying scenes that leaves me cold. I don't know why, but ever since I can remember, Mickey Rooney has given me the creeps - there's something a bit. . . unsavory, I guess?. . . about him. I always thought he seemed a bit pervy.

I can't quite warm to Mickey Rooney either, but as someone who's studied acting I believe he was a truly great actor, even -- or especially -- in his childhood years. He certainly does an amazing job here.
