Brooklyn boasts a tree, a ball club, and a flair for butchering the English language.
★ ★ ★ ★
But that's not all. Now it's also famous for a wonderful musical film!
★ ★ ★ ★ M-G-M has turned four of its most talented stars loose somewhere in the area of Brooklyn Bridge . . . and what comes out is sheer enchantment, surefire humor, solid entertainment entitled "It Happened In Brooklyn".
★ ★ i Frank Sinatra is cast as the girl-shy hero j who thinks that "New York is just a place to see Brooklyn from". And "The Voice" is in rare voice. i

Then, to prove that Brooklyn has an eye for beauty and an ear for song, there's lovely Kathryn Grayson.

As the romantic young blue-blood who doesn't know that Greenpoint is pronounced "Greenpernt", Peter Lawford proves he's the screen's new heart-throb.
★ ★ ★ ★ Brightening "Brooklyn" with songs and quips is Jimmy Durante, who's got a million of them!
★ ★ ★ ★ Yes, it happened in "Anchors Aweigh"; it happened in "Till The Cloud's Roll By"; and it's happened again.
★ ★ That now-famous romance" touch is TOPS!
★ ★ ★ ★
The screen play by Isobel Lennart, based on an original story by John McGowan, abounds in happy moments.
★ ★ ★ ★ Richard Whorf directed and Jack Cummings produced the picture and it's a happy combination.
★ ★ ★ ★
"It Happened In Brooklyn" is a wonderful weaving of story and song, a rollicking, easy-going motion picture that simply bubbles over with delight.
★ ★ ★ ★ ^ It's just about the happiest thing that ever happened!
P. 5 Best-sellers, make best pictures! Three great novels are on their way to being M-G-M hits: "The Hucksters", "B. F.'s Daughter", "East River".
