It Happened in Brooklyn, an MGM musical/romantic comedy, filmed in black and white, opened at the Capitol Theater in New York City on March 13, 1947. Frank Sinatra received top billing as Danny Miller, a veteran returning home to Brooklyn. Also appearing are Kathryn Grayson, Jimmy Durante, Peter Lawford, and Gloria Grahame.
New York Times critic Bosley Crowther gave the movie a middling review.
- ...slow in the narrative stretches.
- ...humor is not too good.
- .,..Durante's contribution is a bit on the parsimonious side
My paternal grandparents have a Brooklyn connection. After traveling to the U.S. from Sweden in the mid-1890s, they lived there for a short time before moving to Rockford, Illinois.
Here they are in 1947 during a summer visit with my parents in Washington. (Mom took the picture.) I suspect they're in the vicinity of Mt. Rainier.
