It's the end of the war. Danny Webson Miller (Frank Sinatra) is recovering in England and eager to go home to the friendly Brooklyn in his mind. He befriends shy Jamie Shellgrove (Peter Lawford). Once back in Brooklyn, he goes back to his old school and meets music teacher Anne Fielding (Kathryn Grayson). He reunites with janitor Nick Lombardi (Jimmy Durante) who takes him into his home. Jamie gets sent to Danny. Everybody is looking for something even if they don't know what.
This allows Frank to sing some and display his easy charms. The story is a bit meandering. It's so meandering that the end abruptly loops back to the beginning for no particular reason. The opening is a bit strange to begin with. I just don't understand the fight over friendly Brooklyn. This is much more about the actors. I like all four main characters and these actors. This movie has an easy charm about it.
