Review of Blue Skies (1946) by Brian S — 16 May 2009
An interesting enough concept, it's just poorly executed. I really didn't understand the flashback element--everything happened there, and everything in the "present" is totally unexplained and superfluous.
the musical numbers also seemed more like filler and less like integral film elements. the plot was decent enough--part golden age musical, part romantic drama--but it just didn't really go anywhere.
the characters are also pretty unlikable. highlights are definitely Fred's Puttin' on the Ritz and Billy De Wolfe's old lady monologue.
