What happens

It Happened in Brooklyn is a 1947 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Richard Whorf, starring Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Peter Lawford and Jimmy Durante, and featuring Gloria Grahame and Marcy McGuire. It was Sinatra's third film for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which had purchased his contract from RKO (due to Louis B. Mayer being a huge Sinatra fan). The film contains six songs written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne, and included "The Song's Gotta Come From the Heart" (performed as a duet by Sinatra and Durante), "The Brooklyn Bridge", "Whose Baby Are You", "I Believe", "Time After Time", and "It's the Same Old Dream".
