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, sure¬ fire humor, solid entertainment entitled “It Happened In Brooklyn”.
★ ★ ★ ★
Frank Sinatra is cast as the girl-shy hero who thinks that “New York is just a place to see Brook¬ lyn from”. And “The Voice” is in rare voice.
★ ★ ★ ★
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 pro¬ nounced “Greenpemt”, Peter Lawford proves he’s the screen’s new heart-throb. ★ ★ ★ ★
Brightening “Brook¬ lyn” with songs and quips is Jimmy Du¬ rante, who’s got a million of them!
★ ★ ★ ★
Yes, it happened in “Anchors Aweigh”; it happened in “Till The Clouds Roll By”; and it’s happened again.
★ ★ ★ ★
That now-famous M-G-M “musical 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 Cum¬ mings produced the picture and it’s a happy combination.
★ ★ ★ ★
“It Happened In Brooklyn” is a won¬ derful 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. S. 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”.
