Product: Birth Of The Blues/Blue Skies - Double Feature (1941)
Rating: 3.0
Blue Skies OK, but not as good as you might think.
BLUE SKIES: It wasn't absolutely horrible, but there are other ways to waste your time. Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are some of the greatest performers we've ever had; they lead you through the musical singing and dancing to the wonderful Irving Berlin scores. The plot, however, was a soap-opery, over long story, frought with tragedy and sentimental moments, that somehow failed to touch me, because, let's face it, the characters weren't terribly likeable.
