The Devil Is a Sissy

In this film, Freddie Bartholomew is a wealthy young English boy attending a New York “magnet” school, whose students are drawn from all walks of life. He is befriended by slum kid Mickey Rooney, son of a recently executed gangster, who in his own roughneck fashion helps Bartholomew to “assimilate.”, Three of the biggest child stars of the 1930s, Mickey Rooney, Jackie Cooper and Freddie Bartholomew, star as boys from the East Side of New York, where poverty and wealth are separated by a few streets, and the trio get involved in criminal mischief.
