Rooney's cartoony stereotype performance in Breakfast At Tiffany's is an example how one bad outing can color an entire career to the detriment of a performer, but the man had the chops, and many of his works prove just that (even if public memory could be damning). He literally is the star stuff that dreams are made of (cinema dreams) in this moving tale of a youngster cursed under the drunken shadow of the father he idolizes. A caring teacher sees his potential and reaches out to the recalcitrant youth before his errant proclivities are set in stone. This is an undiscovered gem.
