    Original . 1943 Movie Publicity Poster; Mickey Rooney in 'The Human Comedy';  MGM Picture
    This one is for the 1940's film THE HUMAN COMEDY. Caricature of the actor Mickey Rooney on one side.
    The other shows a letter to the Exhibitor, Movie theater from MGM.
    Reading it, makes me think this is a sad and important movie for the era. One I haven't seen yet but now may have to.
    Release date -- March 2, 1943
    Starring: Mickey Rooney, Frank Morgan
    Based on novel by William Saroyan
    Directed by Clarence Brown
    The film is the story of a teenaged Homer Macauley in high school, working part-time as a telegram delivery boy, in the fictional town of Ithaca, California, during World War II.
    The effects of the war on the "Home Front" over a year in Homer's life are depicted in a series of perceptive vignettes—some amusing, some grave, some ugly, some touching, some sentimental—involving himself, his family, friends and neighbors in his California hometown, and his brother Marcus, a Private in the U.S. Army.
    The storyline is introduced and directed by a narrator, Homer's father, who has been dead for two years.
