Description

The Fireball (20th Century Fox, 1950). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
To capitalize on the growing popularity of roller skating in 1950, 20th Century Fox starred Mickey Rooney in this drama about a kid making it to the top of the roller derby circuit. His eventual arrogance is shattered by a diagnosis of polio, and he regains his humanity with the help of priest Pat O'Brien. Most notable for an early appearance of Marilyn Monroe as one of Rooney's dates, this film is directed by Tay Garnett. There is a tear on the right that has cellophane tape on the reverse, corner bumps, one corner bend, and a small tear in the left border. This great card is the only one of the set with the blonde bombshell, therefore a popular item with collectors. Fine/Very Fine.
