In some ways “Battle For Brooklyn” resembles Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” but even more so his “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” in its look at a relentless couple who fearlessly keeps fighting City Hall and its powerful allies at the expense of a social life and time to breathe, as the couple awakens a community and galvanizes a fight against a corporate and government structure that puts political roadblocks and legal linguistic contrivances in front of the resident taxpayers at every turn.
