It Happened in Flatbush

Forgettable 1942 film about baseball. Lloyd Nolan does a credible Brooklyn accent. William Frawley does a nice job as a general manager. Carole Landis plays the heiress who decides to keep the Brooklyn team she inherits. As an aside, Robert Osborne of TCM said that Landis killed herself at age 29 despondent over her broken affair with Rex Harrison (a fact not mentioned in other venues).
