| Boys Town / int_dab2f3ee | comment |
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: The movie had to work hard to make the audience believe that apple-cheeked, all-American Mickey Rooney, Andy Hardy himself, was a tough kid. So when he's introduced, he's smoking a cigarette and playing poker with his buddies. | |

Chromosome Casting: Boys Town didn't start admitting girls until 1979. Exactly one woman has exactly one line in the movie—a nun working in the infirmary where Pee Wee is being treated. | |
