Watch Mickey Rourke's very, very first movie
According to IMDB, Mickey Rourke made his film debut in 1979, in Steven Spielberg's "1941." Not so! Thanks to the good folks at Cinetic Media, you can now see his first film in all of its grainy glory: The 1976 "Love In The Hamptons" is available via Amazon On Demand and the 25-minute movie (adapted from a 1972 New Yorker short story) can be yours for a mere $1.99. (Yes, I know "1941" still stands as his first feature. But still.)
Says Matt Dentler at Cinetic: "A month ago, the director reached out to us and said, 'I've got this thing I've had for 30 years; are your interested?' We were able to do something really quickly and we wanted to get it out in the weeks before the Oscars."
Click here for a one-minute preview that includes a plinky piano score (by Bill Conti! who was Oscar-nominated for "Rocky," which came out the same year!) and plenty of Rourke's patent-pending soulful gazes.
