Review of Blue Skies

Blue Skies (1946)
7/10
Der Bing & Der Fred
2 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This is a pleasant musical film. There is a plot, that Bing's character can't settle down in one place even when he has a daughter. The romance is with Joan Caulfield who is a pleasant looking blonde with a good figure.

The romance doesn't really have a lot of sparks. The story line is rather bland. If you want to enjoy this one, you want to hear Bing sing, which there are lots of songs including a chorus of White Christmas, Fred dance and narrate the story, and then some comic support from Billy De Wolf who was a pretty funny guy.

Once you get past these things, there is not much other reason to check out this movie. Still, the Technicolor looks good and Irving Berlin did do some decent song writing for Crosby in this one.
