It Happened in Brooklyn. And it happens with Frank Sinatra starring as an ex-soldier and with a lot of humor and Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn songs. The Song's Gotta Come from the Heart, one tune says and, with Sinatra mimicking Jimmy Durante as he socks it over with the affable 'Schnozzola,' it has enough heart to envelop all of Flatbush. Kathryn Grayson, Peter Lawford and Gloria Grahame help make the movie magic happen.
