That was Larry Nunn, Glebby... as Willie in "Strike Up the Band."
Driscoll was only 3 when that movie was made. He was the first "live" actor signed to a contract by Walt Disney. He was the kid in Song of the South, So Dear To My Heart and Treasure Island. In 1949, Disney loaned him out for a movie called "The Window." Driscoll won a special juvenile Oscar for his work in that film.
Mickey and Judy are on right now, Glebby, in "Life Begins for Andy Hardy." They're showing a marathon of all the Hardy movies today. They just finished "Andy Hardy's Private Secretary" with Kathryn Grayson and Todd Karns (who played Jimmy Stewart's brother in It's A Wonderful Life). Todd was such a cutie! I had a big crush on him when I was younger. He was the son of a very famous character actor Roscoe Karns (It Happened One Night, His Girl Friday).
EDIT: I love looking things up on the Internet! You find out the strangest things. Larry Nunn, who played Willie in "Strike Up the Band" (the kid with the bad arm) committed suicide in the '70s. His daughter Terri Nunn was an actress and the lead singer for the '80s band Berlin! The truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. You couldn't make this sh*t up!
