A young and captivating Judy Garland and that bundle of energy, Mickey Rooney (who was nominated for an Oscar ), are the sweethearts in Babes in Arms. This swingtime song-and-dance hit, based on the Broadway smash by Rodgers and Hart, also received an Oscar nomination for its score. Rooney plays Mickey Moran, the multitalented son of a famous vaudeville team. When his parents -- and other vaudevillians in the community -- hit the financial skids, he rounds up all the stage kids and puts on a lavish show to raise money. The future looks rosy until a sudden hurricane literally washes the whole enterprise away on opening night!
