This wonderful, sweet film is from 1947 and it's about a soldier that is coming home from his time the military is is going home to Brooklyn. However, he is a very shy young man and doesn't have many friends. The nurse, also from Brooklyn, says he can't be from Brooklyn because if he was then he would be more outgoing. After getting his feathers a little ruffled he goes out to the party that is happening below and try to make friends and prove the nurse wrong. he tries and fails. However, he meets a young piano playing that is playing classic music but doesn't know much about popular music. They get to talking about Brooklyn and how wonderful it is there. The piano player's uncle says that Brooklyn sounds like the place that his nephew needed to go to be around people his own age. When Sinatra gets back home, meets a girl, and tries to find a job, that is just what happens. The Piano players shows up at his door.
Yes, I know that we have done a lot of Frank Sinatra, but I don't care! I love this man. This is actually the first non- Gene Kelly movie I saw Frank Sinatra in. I think it's sweet, and haven't Jimmy Durante in this film makes is as funny as it is. However, I totally forgot the Peter Lawford was in the movie. Making this one of the first time the members of the Rat Pack are in the movie together. However, the amazing kicker is at the start of the film when Gloria Grahame is in he movie at the beginning too! If you don't know who she is right off I'll tell you. She is Ado Annie in the movie Oklahoma!. We are almost done with the Younger Years collection, just two move movies to go!
