It Happened in Brooklyn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It Happened in Brooklyn is a 1947 MGM part-musical romantic comedy film directed by Richard Whorf and starring Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Durante, Peter Lawford and Kathryn Grayson. It was filmed in black and white, and features a young Andre Previn on the piano. A post-World War II feel-good movie, its sub-plots revolve around characters making good on their non-proletarian dreams: in Sinatra's case to become a popular singer/musician rather than a shipping clerk, in Lawford's case to break out of his extreme shyness to gain a wife and a career as a songwriter, and in Grayson's case to break out of her schoolteaching job to star in the opera (this last is not shown coming to pass, but she presumably lives happily ever after as she is brought to England as the fiancee of the Lawford character, who is heir to a dukedom). The film's tagline was "Happy songs! Happy stars! Happy romance!".
