Big Operator

In a bold departure from his musical comedy roles, Mickey Rooney plays Little Joe Braun, a brash labor union boss who uses strong-arm tactics to evade a federal corruption probe. Two honest factory-workersSteve Cochran (Private Hell 36) and velvet-voiced Mel Torméfind themselves caught in the gang lords struggle for power, but come to realize they have the power to end Little Joes reign of terrorif they can survive Little Joes attempts to silence them.

Produced by Albert Zugsmith (Touch of Evil, High School Confidential), the king of the tawdry B-picture, The Big Operator is a sublime specimen of Cold War-era noir, highlighted by the special appearances of pop culture icons Mamie Van Doren, Vampira, Jim Backus, and Jackie Coogan.
