Hi Kristine ~~~ I read somewhere that Mickey Rooney was only 14 yrs. old when he made this movie ~ I would love to Google "Mickey Rooney & making Midsummer Night's Dream movie" & see what comes up ~ If I do, I will post it on here ~ I think he started his career at 17 months in his parents vaudville act ~ Thanks for sharing with us !!! >^..^<

well, I found this: "The shooting schedule had to be rearranged after Mickey Rooney broke his leg while skiing. According to Rooney's memoirs, Jack L. Warner was furious and threatened to kill him and then break his other leg." and also this: "Not only did they become the first Hollywood studio to film a Shakespeare play since ... that the role of Puck had already been assigned to the young Mickey Rooney. ... A Midsummer Night's Dream was far from the smoothest in Warners' history. ... Neither did Rooney's practical jokes nor Dick Powell making passes at her."

Jack Warner was such a peach wasn't he? lol But he did churn out a ton of movies! Mickey was a character on and off screen - which I love!. I really like this movie - there was a silent version, but not really my thing. Another movie I found fascinating just in the sheer number of stars involved was Alice In Wonderland 1933 - Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, W.C. Fields, Richard Arlen, Edna May Oliver - it is wonderful just trying to figure out who is who - took me a minute to recognize Gary Cooper.
