The Human Comedy is the poignant story of high school student Homer Macauley (Mickey Rooney) & the lives he touches while delivering telegrams throughout his small California town during the troubling years of World War II. With four Oscar nominations - Best Picture, Director, Actor (Rooney) & B&W Cinematography - it won for Best Story. The Human Comedy is both moving & timeless, a masterful celebration of the American way of life.
