Sinatra is still in his gangly, shy stage here, playing a soldier just out of the Army returning to his home town of Brooklyn. He moves in with the janitor from his old high school, Jimmy Durante, and falls in love with the music teacher, Kathryn Grayson. A friend from England arrives which results in some light tension via a love triangle. Corny sentiment aside, some excellent musical numbers are the real attraction, everything from pop tunes by Frank to opera arias by Kathryn.
