Blue Skies [Blu-ray]

I got this movie for my mom for Christmas! The shipping was fast and came right in time for the holiday!

ok

Unlike other upbeat musicals BLUE SKIES has a melancholy atmosphere. But so does the title song. I love to hear Bing sing and watch Astaire dance, but the character motivation and forced resolution of the thin plot made me wince. That said, I will watch it again for a couple of finer moments. Astaire's "Puttin' on the Ritz" is enjoyable and the comedic routines of Billy de Wolfe are notable. Joan Caulfield, who fell in love with Crosby during this movie, seems forlorn, like a woman who will be left behind....and she is in real life. I will watch BLUE SKIES again. But it is the saddest musical I've ever seen.

Any movie with Astaire and Crosby is worth a look. And this one certainly meets their entertainment standards. A good buy.

Take Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire at their glorious best. Add a touch of the beautiful Joan Caulfield and the rhythmic dancing and singing of Olga San Juan, and you will savor the wide range of Irving Berlin's music. The quality of the DVD is surprisingly high -- brilliant color and sharp images -- for a film from 1946. Not an MGM production, but in my opinion this is entertainment of the highest value. Highly recommended.

I love this movie!! SO charming (can't go wrong with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby 😉) and an absolute delight. So cute and romantic, has great songs and dancing. Perfect for all ages. Would highly recommend.

Please note that this review is not about the movie itself,but only concerns that Amazon,as of Feb. 2023,are still selling the blu-ray with the faulty soundtrack.

I realize it was the script but did not like Bing's character as much as Fred's. I understand that Fred did not like this movie as much because Bing got the girl instead of him.

Lo único que me ha gustado es el baile de Fred de Puttin on the Ritz. La pelicula es para lucimiento de Bing Crosby.

Un titulo poco conocido en la carrera de Fred Astaire con buenos números musicales y canciones subtituladas. Aunque no la había visto nunca esta película no defraudará a los amantes del musical.

echt iets voor een fred astaire liefhebber
