Выключенный звук (1952)

Sound Off is a 1952 American comedy film directed by Richard Quine and starring Mickey Rooney, Anne James, John Archer and Gordon Jones. The film was shot in August 1951 in SuperCinecolor for Columbia Pictures. This was the first of a three-picture contract between Rooney and producer Jonie Taps for Columbia, in which Rooney was paid $75,000 for each picture. It is also the first collaboration between Richard Quine, Blake Edwards and Dick Crockett. The same team next collaborated with Rooney in the Navy film All Ashore made the following year. The three worked together again on Rooney's television series The Mickey Rooney Show/Hey Mulligan in 1954–55. Their final film in the Columbia contract was the black and white crime drama Drive a Crooked Road. The film's title comes from the military cadence by Willie Lee Duckworth that was a major 1951 chart hit for Vaughn Monroe.
