The ever-professional, always-appealing Cooper would, as a burgeoning teenager, topline several 1930s vehicles showcasing his talent. The 12-year-old played a military school cadet tainted by parental misfortune in Dinky, his name a riff on his character from The Champ. His mother (Mary Astor) is unjustly convicted for a fraudulent bond scam and doesn't want him to know. But word of her imprisonment hits the academy, and a downhearted Dinky goes AWOL to the county orphanage next door, from which he keeps mom in the dark that he's no longer in uniform. From a story in part by John Fante (soon to begin a storied literary and screenwriting career) and with future director Richard Quine as a snobbish fellow cadet, Dinky is sentimental in spades -- featuring Henry Armetta as a bumptious yet kindly junkman and a climactic cadets-vs.-orphans football game -- but earns its sergeant's stripes as a smile-generating charmer.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Drama;Family","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47783233224922,"sku":"888574407711","price":27.72,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/bz2e0q7x6qtywvkv6vxe.jpg?v=1776839945","url":"https:\/\/shopmusic247.com\/products\/dinky-dvd","provider":"Shopmusic247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
