Original Toronto Star caption: Mickey's the meanie this time. The menacing pose should be frightening but there's no mistaking the face that would break into a grin if you tickled this tough guy with his own machine-gun. Yes, it's Mean Mickey Rooney on location in Toronto as a kidnapper in the Quadrant comedy movie, Find the Lady, also starring local actors Larry Dane and John Candy. Directing at the Lakeshore Studios is John Trent. The zany film is something of a sequel to Trent's previous cop comedy, It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time. Rooney's partner in crime is Peter Cook. The victim is Alexandra Bastedo.
