The Atomic Kid Reviews

A none-too-funny nuclear comedy starring Rooney as a prospector looking for uranium when he is caught in the center of an atomic blast. He survives because of a peanut butter sandwich he was eating at the time. (Nothing like spreading more nuclear disinformation.) It seems the atomic energy has given him the power to do all sorts of comical things like winning at Las Vegas slot machines without touching them. Pretty stupid stuff attributable to Blake Edwards, who wrote the original story.
